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 ! :2funny: :idiot2:

It just needs the stickers ,dont know if the earlier ones are rarer therefore worth more  :daumenhoch: :2funny: wishfull thinking  :D

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

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

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

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. :angel:

Ozone thats not a bad idea about red dx's 8) 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 :)

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.
