This just falls into the category as it's an 1980 frame.
Always loved the chrome and black mix, this is how it's looking so far
-
Beautiful, that.
-
cheers, it's taken a year to get to this state so might take another year to get finished ;D
-
Nice seat. :daumenhoch:
-
:daumenhoch: nice.
-
I thought 'pre-1980' meant up to and including 1979?
careful Rob, you know how contentious date classifications are :teef:

True john, the mods can move it if need be :daumenhoch: :teef:

Same here, I always thought that the work 'pre' meant before, so pre 1980 would be before 1980 i.e. 1979 and earlier.
But hey Rob's dictionary 'pre' means 'same as' :LolLolLolLol:
-
:LolLolLolLol: i'll be honest and didn't even read the Pre bit, i just saw 1980 :-[

love those early db's Rob,that is gonna be a stunner :4_17_5:
-
Has this got the double drop outs on the front forks? ???
-
yeah but my grass hides them ;D
-
Very nice , what parts are you going with?
-
These are the cranks
-
I really want to go with black Tuffs as i always loved chrome DBs with tuffs BITD but i know it should have spokes :-\
-
With a frame that old go for Tuff 1 wheels.
-
Early Tuff's would look good on this :daumenhoch:
-
some black Tuff 1s or early steel hubbed Tuff 2s would be nice but does anyone have any for sale? ???
-
Nice that Rob :daumenhoch:
-
Tasty. Love my db
-
Very nice, you sure that's a Senior though as although fabrication of that particular model started in late 1980, it wasn't released until Spring 1981.
Looks like it could be a Pro, aka 'large pro' which ran from 1979 to early 1981 :daumenhoch:
If you measure the rear dropouts and they're approx 3mm, then it's a Pro 'large' :)
-
Did you ever finish this Rob?
-
not yet Dan, working on finding a nice set of wheels for it and then it'll basically be finished. I need to polish up the rusty pedals I have and get a nice chain but it's sitting on the shelf in my shed at the mo :)
