Thanks for the compliment also fella

i have plans for it ,but cant be arsed @ mo

Deano · « **Reply #56 on:** July 22, 2009, 01:47 AM »

That looks cool with a few nice bits too

Have you had it long?

haro__master1985 · « **Reply #57 on:** July 22, 2009, 03:22 PM »

Had it a couple of years now ,just hung up in the garage which is a shame really $:-\$

Had one bitd so wanted one for a while.

Took me nearly a year to get one ,only got this one cos the ebay listing finished about 2am midweek !

It just needs the stickers ,dont know if the earlier ones are rarer therefore worth more

wishfull thinking

I have noticed theres not alot of chrome ones about tho ................ (waiting for 3 pages of chrome freestyler to be posted )

NORTY40 · « **Reply #64 on:** September 02, 2009, 11:13 PM »

Looks great Deano

Shame to box it away though mate

Deano · « **Reply #65 on:** December 16, 2009, 11:34 AM »

This blinking thread just wont go away :lol:

So i had some black CW bars on this build and i had been on the look-out for some chrome freestyle bars for ages. Id not had any luck in finding any and Jake was selling some white bars i liked so bought them :wink:

Thanks Jake off BW

Now they were in good shape and looked fine (but not chrome) so i sent them off to :butts: for the magic wand treatment :grin:

I know he is the man and he tried to talk me out of it because the metal was pitted badly but i begged him to try :lol: as they were for a survivor anyway.

Pictures: Note the pitting is underneathand not the gnurled centers, my pictures aint the best.

Had to change the seatpost too :smile:
This is how it will stay now as im well chuffed with how it looks, there not ladder bars but better than the cw's imo

ozone · « **Reply #66 on:** December 16, 2009, 11:52 AM »

I much prefer the chrome bars to the black Cee-Dubs - chrome Cee-Dubs would have been fine also, IMO.

Do you think red DX's would look nice on it? You could always try some of that red (plastikote) glass paint if you want a colour change. It does come off if you don't like it.

Deano · « **Reply #67 on:** December 17, 2009, 12:06 AM »

Ozone thats not a bad idea about red dx's

Thanks buddy.

The cw's were chrome but flaked all over so i coated them to keep the cost down. Im keeping them and maybe ill buy some chrome ones one day as im told early dp's often had cw's.

Cheers

Lovely build deano

neiljonarcus · « **Reply #70 on:** December 17, 2009, 06:24 AM »

much better dean them black bars and seat post looked out of it mate

stidds · « **Reply #71 on:** December 17, 2009, 08:26 AM »

Nice work Deano, I like that a lot. I liked the black bars and seatpost look but it looks just as funky with the new parts.
