My Fully Restored DB Harry Leary Turbo
« on: February 01, 2009, 05:07 PM »
Ok this has dragged on for well over 4years..
To me, the turbo is the ultimate in os BMX.
It still needs correct pedals, tyres etc.. but bollocks here's the story.

Original f/f came from Mattskybeat, he also gave me the stem, bars and seat clamp.



The crossbar was dented so i had it replaced.. a local firm did a superb job




I had the Stem, Seat clamp, chainring and dia-compe brake set beautifully re-chromed





Then started gathering all the parts needed to complete.. radman helped alot here.





Restored the seat myself.. dyed, recovered and decals added.






The finish is custom powder lacquer.. matched to a bit of original colour left inside the steerer tube.




Then put it all together
