Title: DB F1 is finally done!!!! pic heavy
Post by: sid1972 on April 05, 2011, 01:08 PM: Hi folks,

coupe of bikes should be completed this week (finally)

First! DB f1.

it was a solid/unused bike to begin with, it was just a bit rusty & unloved.. ;)

Fitted:
Nos spokes, Nos cables - new dicta rear sprocket (could not afford £65 for an original suntour 16t : 3/32 :shocked:)

Nos decals (thanks Sparky) - Sorry lads had to change em they were letting the frame down because it's lush and at least the decals are original 8)
