looking good so far 

[Bob_Acid]

Yeah, sweet as a nut so far. Is that original chrome?

[Guttee]

No the frame forks crank arms and handlebars have been rechromed because they were rusty or scratched.£80 for the lot.

  FFS!! £80 the lot!! Mate you got to spill the beans, where from??

  Looking nice as well

Ahhh, DB Pro with twin drop out forks. First bike I ever raced. Borrowed a friend's bike and raced Buckmore Early '82.

[Guttee]

Had the chrome refreshed for £80 that was for the frame, forks,crank and handlebars at asm in runcorn. I sourced the other bits like stickers and seat etc as they were missing or fooked.Got this bike when i was 11 and have raced it and generally messed around on it ever since.Now at the ripe old age of 37 i thought i'd mint her up, mothball her and pass it on to my kids.I'll never sell her ever!!!
Have a look at her BEFORE i cleaned her.
