bought this bad boy a few months ago, f&f, pads and bars
changed my mind quite a bit along the build as you do! wheels,grips, brakes, seat clamp, chainring (3 times :roll: )
finally settled for this, bit of a budget build by some standards, but im pleased with how it turned out!
it will get a seat upgrade when im a bit more flush, but as its a seafront cruise bike this seat will do fine for now! :grin:
so here are some pics of the build as it progressed!
how the seller had built it

the fire bird does suit a set of spokes so much better than tuffs,,,,,,,spokes make her look sleeker and faster
so go get fit and ride her hard
loverlee :-*
-
nice to see a firebird racer....... awesome! :smitten:
-
Is that a Delta 2?
Looks good.
Had a Delta 2 in white, all of the paint fell off so got it stripped and painted again.
Wish I'd kept it, but had to get rid when I got my Haro Group 1.
-
like it a lot, looks fast too :daumenhoch:
-
Cool, love the OPC and rat traps :daumenhoch:

Fooking lovely, I love a black bike they look so fast. Just hoik (is hoik) those bars back a tad for me, when they are more forward than vertical it just screams Burner :LolLolLolLol:
