yeah that work on the dropouts is class 

[firebird]

well done Iain, finally got it finished.

So lucky having your old dp freestyler. it must be so strange having it looking the same as when you first bought it. What was it like sitting back on it again? have you got your old cloths too, now that would be a great photo 

going to add some photos to the dp web site this week, great job Iain

Your builds have always been top draw Iain but you've surpassed yourself with this one. The time and effort put into it is reward enough but it must have been great bringing your original bike back to life.

Get a picture of you on it in the same pose as the original pic. It'll round off the story brilliantly.

Well done and well done to the guys who've helped you. Stunning job all round. Make sure you add it to Bike of the Month and you'll get my vote....again.

PS. Get your @rse down to the Titans track, it'll be good to see you again.

Get a picture of you on it in the same pose as the original pic. It'll round off the story brilliantly.

Thanks Paul 

Funnily enough I was thinking the same thing myself. Was even going to take it accross to my parents house and stand in exactly the same place in the garden where the original pic was taken 

Will try to get back down to clydebank again soon, my weekends just seem to be very full at the moment 

[Robbo]

Awesome story and build, loads of respect for that.

[the_wheelie_king]

as above... I suspect so many of us would have skipped it in our pre-rad days. Looks very classy. 

[Steve P]

I'm gob-smacked Iain ... that's a tasty looking bike now. Great stuff 

[tickz]

very nice,stunning
"Then in about 1988/9 I decided to take the wheels off and bolt a pair of skis to the bottom and turn it into a ski bike" love it,lol
Bonkers!

Amazing story - I know I'm going to end up trying to restore something old school - and it's the fault of everyone on this forum.

Still - probably no one would have tried to restore a 'team murray' my first bmx.
