Title: My Firebird Freestyler 'tweeked'
Post by: russ j on August 08, 2011, 11:18 PM

I've been changing things around a bit on my DP Firebird.I did take it to BB11 but didn't manage to get any piccys of it.

Anyway i managed to grab an hour inbetween it raining the weekend just gone....

I had the f&f + bars stripped and repowdered back white as the powdercoat on it last time was a little 'crappy' imo.Also i've changed the seat clamp from a Suntour 'digital' to a Tange SC-2,the seat has been changed from an Aeroyal to a Kashimax Aero,the front caliper is know a DC MX 1000 its was a 900 on the front last time.The pedals have been powdered know.I managed to get a set of Takagi crank dust caps in black as well from the states.New decals have been applied and a new pad set as well.I polished up hubs on the Aero Zytec's which look spot on imo  :cool:

Anyway enough babble...here's she is   8)
