DB Finished
« on: June 09, 2007, 09:23 AM »
As a kid my first decent BMX bike was a DB senior pro. However, I had to buy almost all my own stuff, so I sold it off to upgrade to my next bike. After seeing a few nice DB's being posted up here, it got me thinking about the good times I had on mine. Anyways, I was offered frame, that I could not refuse. Actually a number of really cool people on here helped me get this one together. So thanks to caferacer, matt black and db rad pads, Mark

As I tried to keep it pretty much stock, it was a bit cheaper than most builds, because it didn't require flights, bullseyes, etc That being said, it is one of my favorite bikes.

My photo's are a little ordinary because I was messing around with my camera settings...

Thanks very much...it is nice to share this sickness with other like minded sicko's!  ;)

The frame did score a re-dip, new stickers and almost all NOS parts...(actually quite a few parts were out of the UK)

Unfortunately I can't move my lever down without cutting my plate, which I'm not real keen on doing, I was thinking about swapping to a tech III...

I actually had the chrome done at my local chromer who is pretty good...but I don't think he will be able to help you...cause I live in Australia  :D
It is pretty good but not perfect. It seems to be really hard to get a perfect chrome job nowdays...he did a set an old set of araya aero's for my rider and they are now 200grams per rim heavy than stock...however I'm about 5kg heavy than stock at the moment!! :(

Schweet looking snake. Especially like the mix of blue and black, doesn't sound like it would work, but certainly does :daumenhoch:

Thanks again for the kind words...

The bike I used to own back in the day was 95% the same as this one, and that was bought as a complete off the showroom floor...I was under the impression that DB offered a complete bike as per this one, unless they were assembling them with a selection of part here in Australia...I think there was a test in a BMXA..

MartyC, I'm on the Gold Coast, near Brissy actually about as far away as possible from where you are going unfortunately...You will have a great time over in Perth, but if you ever get over this side of the country don't be shy, I'd be more than happy to hook up for a couple of quiet Crownies... :daumenhoch:

LazyChubs, I'm feeling your pain re your dodgy chrome job, I was sh*tting myself when I left this with the chromer, as I have seen what can happen...I had given him a few smaller things before to ensure he knew what he was doing...all was good...
