It isn't quite finished yet as I'm going to get the bars powder coated, change the grips, tyres, stem and seatpost clamp, oh and sort out the front brake cable, but here it is so far, what do you think? Oh and btw, it's my first build!

Here's my baby. Finished back in Autumn last year but forgot to put it in the museum.

Firebird Delta F&F bought off our very own Phantom Photon, rechromed.
Araya Aeros polished
Renthal Bars polished
Dia compe 901s
Sugino OPC
Sugino chainring polished
SR stem polished
Gold Headset and BB cups
Pads from Firebird
KKTs
Comp IIIs rainbow labels

Used to race a delta bitd. Loved them then and love em now. To me they represent the poor mans racer. I could never afford a top race bike, so the Firebird was the only way I could get a quality bike.

My original DP freestyler, Glyn lewis version. Owned by me on and off since I was 15. It has always had a painted frame and chrome dp forks, no idea why, perhaps they had a surplus of chrome ones $:-\$ Late 80`s build, nothing special, Skyways, GT mallet and GT bars, odessey layback, Skyway turbodisc, ACS Boa`s, and my shagged 1976 lotus Esprit for company

Rare Mini 20" dp Firebird race frame set

This frame set was given to me by Neil Park, son of Dave Park - dp.
It was without decals when I got it and as you can see needed a very good clean. I've never seen another single top tube mini race frame before, so just had to get this one built up.

Hope you like it !!

and now, 1st place winner MK10 mini / pitt
