That is so sweet, pure time warp! I used to have a Senior Pro DB about, oh twenty years ago! Once I finish my Profile Champ, I will be trying to re-create my old Senior Pro. Do you have one? I sure would like to see it if you do! Cheers Stu

You dont see many DB builds, I dont know why DB bikes dont get much luv, but looking at your sweet assembly, thinks might change. Gd job.

Wow! That is classy! I really REALLY like those pads. I friend of mine bitd had a chrome Senior Pro, with the same pads but in black and silver. I also thought they looked cool!
That is a great build!

Thanks all. A long wait between drinks for DB parts over 3 years in all for this one. The pads are ebay. you just have took every day , they come in spits and spurts, you wont see any for like a year ,all of a sudden a guy like "goodstuff " finds a heap in the back of a shop and lets them go. The decals are frazer's repro very good not sure if he has any left.
very soon Frazer will have finished the 82 DB team pro decals these have the prism backing white letters blue borders and the blue diamonds. cant wait. I am helping fund the run. I'm sure it will be like the snake decals , frazer will put out the post to take orders ( not now) .so "meatpie" if you read this these decals are the right ones for your BMX bandits replica DB.
