Matt ... the Ltd Ed ones came in a special coating called Ni-Bronze... like a dark bronze tinted chrome. They also had DP laser cut out of the platform behind the seatpost, the coaster brake anchor on the upper chainstay and the ends of the chainstays near the dropouts were angled. There was also holes drilled in the forks and frame to allow you to route the cables through.

There was only 500 made and came in a kit with seatpost, pegs, bars and hollow stem bolt.

This design of frame became the GL Plus ... like the fluro ones in the ad above but were not in Ni-Bronze and produced in much greater numbers :daumenhoch:

'Firebird' Steve is you an for DP information... when I got mine he was 'the source' when it came to info and repro graphics... the address for his site is listed further up by Bendy...

I had a pink GL Plus BITD :smitten:
