Title: DB Turbolite resto
Post by: Hmoon27 on October 09, 2012, 10:22 PM
Brought this survivor....Too scratched up too leave , too expensive to Re-Laqeur and decal , so i thought id take the risk and get it back to chrome ;)

Personally think it looked awsome as it was, shame to see another one get stripped back  :(

Great little bikes, there was a set of wheels and cranks on the bay the other day.

As you can see by the time of this post..... I've got a new born daughter  :LolLolLolLol:
Haven't had time to do anything with the bikes at the mo

Ash, I love the black chrome lacquer as well but in places it was non existent . I found someone who could re do it but the cost , plus a new set of decals didn't make it viable for me. If it had original parts then I would be worth the spend ,but as it is ,I'm just going to clean it all up and build it with the Mini stuff I've got knocking about :daumenhoch: just need some cheap , half decent 1 3/8 wheels and I'm good to go :daumenhoch:
