Wanted Dave Yates D.O.N.K.I.S.N.O.B

I thought i would start a wanted thread for the Donkisnob after selling my other Diabolo because i really want to have the full set. So if anyone has one they're willing to let go to a good home give me a shout please. Size wise it would have to be 18" or 19" and i'd be after either the frame or frame and forks don't want a full bike there's no fun in that lol i'd rather build a replica of the prototype bike.
Here's a couple of photos of my Diabolo and Vulcan i wonder which came first with the colour scheme my Diabolo or the Donkisnob prototype which had a very similar fade anyone know?

Wow those rear brakes remind me of Pitbulls from the 80's which were found on all the high end BMX bikes.

Do you have the fork for the Diabolo?

Diabolo has got them but the Vulcan hasn't, what frame are these off,loving the colours

Ah, got a couple of pairs from Dave, including a NOS straight blade unicrown fork he made.

Forgot i had done this thread and realised i forgot to reply to you Rod_Saetan regarding the forks (pm will arrive soon)
Found a photo of the donkisnob where i refer to what came first with the colours my diabolo or the donkey, very similar aren't they. And if mine was first i wonder if that inspired Dave to do the donkey in those colours

Nope i've still never found the elusive one to complete the set.
I'm definitely interested if your going to sell, any photos?

Hi, this is the one. I got the frame off Bhill22 and silver solder repaired the dents and sprayed it myself. It's got a full Record OR/Icarus gruppo on it barring a few bits and bobs. I can go into more detail if you are interested. Cheers, John
