my latest dp freestyler frame set find

(1/5) > >>

firebird:
Limited Edition Freestyler

picked this up on sunday with Pete from N. Wales. been after one for a while now, number 092 of 500. i've looked into getting the bronze re-done but its going to cost a fare bit, so for now i'll leave it as it is.

also fitted was a dp seat post, dp hollow stem bolt and a pair of dp pegs

Lush, very lush  :smitten:

Will that finish not polish up at all?  Got to be worth a go?

the finish on these frames was called NI-BRONZE
the frame set starts out bare metal, first job is to polish the frame, then its dipped in Copper, then in Nickel, then a coat of electroplated Bronze, then a clear coat of gloss.

the problem here is that the Bronze has worn away almost everywhere so if i polish it any more more Bronze will come off. best left alone now as a survivor
