Title: Been fiddlin with me Bird!
Post by: phantom photon on January 30, 2010, 02:07 PM: Been giving my yellow DP a bit of a makeover as I was never quite happy with the way it was :-\

Changed the wheels for z-rims, the crank for a 3 piece, aero seat, alloy seat post and MX style seat clamp - much happier now :)

change of seat is a winner and the black hubs / yellow z's are ill

please change the bars! its just me - never like any CW straight across kind of bars :buck2:

yellow Ame rounds with yellow lever covers could be cool

I just need some tyres for my rebuild then I can hit the streets :daumenhoch:

I've only got 2 sets of ladder bars unfortunately and they're both on other builds :(

only 2 sets... god... poor you :-X

one set would be nice ... TO MAKE UP FOR THE ONES THAT GOT STOLE AS THEY WERE ATTACHED TO MY 1ST DP :2gunsfiring_v1:

still hoping to get a set one day... the Forklifter bars I got just don't cut it - I'm on some shorter GT bars now.

I used to rock CW copy bars on my Puch Invader back in the day - I just don't like the look of them now.

You still got snow! :shocked:
