Redline Bars,  MX1000 with Tech 3s and Oakley B1B are all that is left to fit and they are all going to be collected by next Saturday :4_17_5:

Then it is on to the next Project - A TRM  :4_17_5: :smitten: :smitten:

A £90 Frameset back in the day

Yes the brakes were the last link to get this one up on the DP wall :smitten:

I wanted to use nice parts on this and create a Great addition to my collection and only able to find a few pictures of them complete I thought it deserved sweet parts.   :smitten: :smitten:

Have to agree with some, you're a bit over dressed for a party down the local community centre.


Reminded me of that Hutch build a few years ago with the Supergoose frame set  :idiot2:

A frame set of this rarity deserves top parts IMO. When I build a bike I build it as I would have lived as a kid. This being the last DP I have on the go currently I wanted to build something special. Something Dave Park would de proud of. Not overdressed :daumenhoch:
