OK! i was going to buy that chrome big Daddy but was offered this one instead. It will be easier to strip and get powdered than the chrome one.
I'm gonna be going with dark green with this one. Seems to be the lastest color trend.
Or maybe I'll go with a totally different color. I have time to decide as frame isn't here yet. A nice dark blue maybe???

Ya! Chrome one is still around. I may get it later on if I can swing it. I also know where there is another chrome one.
Post pics of your new one and the morales too.

My peregrine Q bars will look great on this build. Not a big Fan of Red. I think a dark green or Blue will be my choice.
-
just out of interest, whats the serial number on it ?
-
i just spotted another difference between that and my one.
the stubbs that stick out at the bottom of seat post tube for rear brake adjuster
is well long on that both sides ,mine are stubby.
-
nice fined CC can't wait to see this one built up :daumenhoch:
-
I don't think those have a serial #.
-
I'll find out when it arrives

Sorry for the crappy pics.
Now i just need my Big Daddy to get here.
-
those look lurvly mate, like NOS :daumenhoch:
what years for mk1 and mk2 ?
-
Yes they are super nice. I don't think they were ever rode on a bike. Guy I got them from said they were taken off a bike. I'm thinking it was a carpet Queen.
-
carpet Queen.
very nice :LolLolLolLol:
-
Yep!
So any progress on your BD? Have you put decals on it yet or are you planning to?
Hopefully mine will be here this week.
I don't mind waiting. Just not hearing from the seller. Should have my decals sets this week too.

Well turns out the Red Big Daddy needs fixing so I'm getting the chrome one again.
May see if I can trade the Chrome for a painted.
