Ah, a DP mini then! Shame I just have the pic. :-[ Saw this up for sale a couple of years ago and let it go by. Bugger!
-
Orb has one of them little feckers! possibly not as rare as we first thought? ::)
-
Well I would have thought there should be a few about. Might wait and see if one comes up in time. Im not gonna go chasing one for the sake of it but would be nice to add one to the collection. Keep an eye out lads!

I dont know about the mini's but i had a Delta that i built up from the frame when i was 13.I raced it...it was great.(i did disguise it as a Redline...which pi##ed off the owner of DP when he saw me racing it in Wigan).
I had the Freestyler as well and that was great.
They were budget frames but i had no probs with them.

Hey Sam, thanks for that, your a star! Ok, I have to ask this as im still not up to speed on all this stuff. Don't laugh but as it states its a 'mini' does this mean it takes 16" wheels or does it mean its just a very small 20" frame? :-\
-
It means it is a mini frame that takes 20 inch wheels ;)
-
Thanks Bill. Another lesson in the world of os bmx. :D
-
does the mini size take 20" inch wheels which i know as skinnys ?
-
Yeah, Skinnies are either 20x1 1/8" or 20x1 3/8"
