Steve Animal offered to help so off it went to him, this is the amazing job he did on it

Whilst this was going on, I restored as much as I could starting with these dx's
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/pp287/rollin72/garage011.jpg)
they had 2p's as end caps which needed drilling out, re-shaping and painted

I restored and built a set of z'ds and z hubs, re-painted a set of DC 900's and levers, seat clamp, restored the kashi and stem, then the frame, forks and bars came back with a fresh coat of 2k and we ended up with...
