Title: DP Firebird - few more pics
Post by: punkdSICO on November 13, 2011, 07:14 PM: Hi - whilst waiting for Del to be back online with his printing, some decal came up on ebay from a Rad member (sorry Del!). So, good excuse to do a few more pics.

Im not happy with the seat so that will be going. I have some lovely ACS pedals but they are 1/2 and Im struggling to find some 9/16 axles, so ignore the awful Halfords pedals. The bars are pimped Ammaco Freestyler bars.

Post by: rad_pitt on November 18, 2011, 01:43 PM: Can't go wrong with blue and chrome :smitten: :smitten: :Great_Britain: and the Araya's work really well too :daumenhoch:

I'd have to agree on the one piece. A nice re-chromed Sugino would look lovely with those stokers :daumenhoch:
