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

I thought 'pre-1980' meant up to and including 1979?

careful Rob, you know how contentious date classifications are

True john, the mods can move it if need be

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'

i'll be honest and didn't even read the Pre bit, i just saw 1980

pickle · « **Reply #14 on:** May 25, 2015, 05:32 PM »

pickle · « **Reply #15 on:** May 25, 2015, 05:33 PM »

I really want to go with black Tuffs as i always loved chrome DBs with tuffs BITD but i know it should have spokes $:-\$

stidds · « **Reply #16 on:** May 25, 2015, 06:02 PM »

With a frame that old go for Tuff 1 wheels.

BMX1973 · « **Reply #17 on:** May 25, 2015, 09:08 PM »

Early Tuff's would look good on this

pickle · « **Reply #18 on:** May 26, 2015, 08:21 AM »

some black Tuff 1s or early steel hubbed Tuff 2s would be nice but does anyone have any for sale?

insectbones · « **Reply #19 on:** May 27, 2015, 08:14 PM »

Nice that Rob

Jaymz · « **Reply #20 on:** May 27, 2015, 10:17 PM »

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

If you measure the rear dropouts and they're approx 3mm, then it's a Pro 'large'

Retrodan72 · « **Reply #22 on:** November 07, 2015, 09:05 AM »

Did you ever finish this Rob?

pickle · « **Reply #23 on:** November 07, 2015, 03:49 PM »

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
