From the hands of SuperBike Dan... after MUCH deliberation... here's a sneak peak on my Ltd. Ed. DP
Its been a bi*ch to find a colour match for the Ni-Bronze finish that was on the bike for a decent price and I would never have even got near without Firebird Steve & SBD :daumenhoch:
I'm like :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D - can't wait to build it.
( just a shame I forgot to put the forks into the package I sent to Dan... Me=twat :uglystupid2: SORRY DAN... THEY'LL BE WITH YOU THURSDAY )

That is one of the nicest finished frames I have seen in a long time 8)

SBD, top job mate :4_17_5:

this was a killer of a job, the metal was shot to pieces, after two coats
of chrome silver, first coat just to fill the metal and seven coats of the
lacquer ??? i told Ed we'd get there in the end and we did :)
just cant believe he didnt send the forks :(

F-COUGH!!!!! :P
They were wrapped and ready to go but I didn't put them in the box... but my brother in law who sent the parcel, and KNEW what I was sending SAW THEM next to the box and didn't bother telling me... just put them under the desk :shocked: I'd not seen anything left out as they had been TIDIED AWAY so I thought they went... :idiot2:
I have already apologised in full for scaring Dan by being 'sure' they had been sent and getting him to go and track the box down - I came clean on what had happened and Dan was pretty cool about it ( even though he was thinking :knuppel2: ) and I don't blame him.
Nothing can p*ss on my fire as... if you scroll up a little... little higher.... higher..... THATS MY BIKE HAHAHAHAHAAA YES!!!!!!!

tbh paul i really am mate, this job was way out of the norm for me, powder coat first then
two pack coloured lacquer,not what i do, if i could have got the top coat in powder then it would have
been so easy but these old skool bikes are and will always be a challenge and i always get
there in the end ;D >:( :( :daumenhoch:

I have a Helmet I was supposed to be sending down to Dan, but its still hung on a peg in the Garage... seeing this quality of work has just reminded me... !!!

Thanks to everyone for dropping comments on the frame - I do feel very very JAMMY
Its funny but when I first came on here you see peoples names and I thought 'SuperBikeDan' ... he must fancy himself :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol:
...but if anyone has ever lived up to their name then its Dan... and I've been a SBD fan since the ABMX polka dot race bike from BITD!
Thanks to beard1973 for his BOTM comments... but its not really about that. Its supposed to be a survivor rather than a NOS dream machine and I'm trying to keep it as close to its 80s spec as possible ( that was the deal I made to get it for naught ) so it should look something like this...

( I've had to use some white Skyways until I find a rear OGK... and I've swapped the Rock bars for some Forklifters... everything else is reused )
... but MOST of all I WANT TO RIDE IT

* QUICK UPDATE *
The frame colour was a one off and matching the forks wasn't going to happen - so the forks will be silver chrome as it matches in well with the bike.
I've given up 'trying' to make it happen now - its easier to just follow the path its taking... go with the flow.
Forks, chainring ( de-adonized by Dan ) and pedals back next week then its hopefully finished in time for a ride down The Boardroom in Leicester :smitten:
