Thats cool! I used to have one of those, had Simplex mags just like those too, but other than that mine was a bit of a 'bitsa'!
Yours look mint! Did you build it or buy it complete?

I paid £30 for a complete bike but alot of it was knackered. used the f&f, handel bars, stem and the mags. the mags are ment to be red but were more a shade of pink. so I painted them black and D.A'd the rim.

I had one of those too. £74.95 F&F from OT's in Dartford. Mine was one of the first white ones with the new graphics (like yours). Those are Acorn mags aren't they?

they're not aero zytecs dude, they're acorn freestyle mags. look like my zytecs - with the 4 bolts holding the centre in - but then, I wasn't even born when this old school bmx lark was new! - just had a shonky old mk1 burner - which unsurprisingly I still have...  |

I got a DP from the dump....about 15 years ago
I wanted one since I seen the 2 page ads in BMXA.
But I think I gave the frame away.
The drop outs were paper thin. Not very impressive.

Yay! gotta love the DP freestyler. After they went bust I managed to buy all the DP frames that were left off the liquidators.....I horded them for a bit and sold em one by one on ebay a few years back....I wont tell you how much I made but it was very worth it |
