Title: DP Firebird Freestyler Finally Finished
Post by: phantom photon on November 17, 2007, 12:13 PM

Finished DP number 2. Would have preferred to have a set of MX1000's on it but finding a set in black for a reasonable price was impossible  :(

no dp would be complete without a renthal seat post...usually cos they seize in the frame

Thanks for the positive comments guys  :)
Anyone noticed the deliberate mistake yet?
Had 2 Izumi chains sitting on the shelf when I built it up - a 3/32 and a 1/8. Guess which one I fitted  ::) Didn't notice until after I took the pictures but all sorted now  :daumenhoch:

Always thought Firebirds were like the poor kids Haro, might have to take a rethink now :coolsmiley:

Looks so clean, I'm guessing its not a rider? Really liking the z rims on it to ;)

It's lovely but it needs proper BMX tyres!
