This project all started when I managed to pick a set of DP firebird forks up for £10 when buying a set of Brakes from Durham, decided to try and get a frame to match them and was helped out by Fishface who sold me a rusty chrome freestyler ready for powder.
Decided to do something different so got a rusty set of steel pro class wheels and sent them for powdering, along with the frame and forks.
Once the parts came back from powder coating, the project sat in my garage doing nothing for months as I couldn't bring myself to building it without a set of DP Ladder bars..................then the breakthrough, a fellow member decided he wasn't going to be using his and the trade was done. Picked up the last few bits I needed and the building started.
Thanks to:
Fishface for the frame
FHMReader for the powder coating (frame, forks and wheels)
buttsbikeshop for re-chroming the crank and headset
covburner for the stem
modfather for the pro class wheels
JTsmooth for the hubs and spokes
stevecosta for the seat
And the biggest thanks has to go to glynnyboy for the ladder bars, tyres, chainring, and custom decals for the headset. Without glynn it would be still sat in my garage unbuilt
