Very Very Sweet! I'm loving the purple!

Just out of interest are those Alu or Ti bolts holding the canti's on?
 
Re: BiTD Builds No.3 1993 DBR Axis Team Titanium - DONE!

That's really cool and I love that top cap, somewhere in my parents loft there is a box with one of those in, I must have a good look up there again.
That's a great finish you got on the frame.

A very nice built and I love the purple parts. But I think this is not a 1993 frame. Because 1993 the cable Routing was complete on the right site an the bikes don´t have S-Bend chainstays.

Thanks :)

You're right...I believe it's 1994; it still has a couple of the original stickers on the frame: the gold one at the top of the seat-tube and the one at the bottom as well.

I wanted to use 1993 decals as that's the one I had originally back in 1993, and I prefer them to the later ones ;) ...also done a 94 and 95 build previously (see links in sig).

Cheers :)

Very Nice... :D

I'm surprised Pyro-Tim (lover of all things DBR) hasn't commented yet, perhaps the excitement was to much :LOL:
and you've single handily caused his demise


Love the 3dv.... What about adding some of these ?
