Hello,
can anyone tell me if the white paint stripes on the DB1RS are plain or metallic pearl?
Cheers, MikeJ |

You've got me there Mike...first I thought your bike was a "mere" DB1...then you said it was an S...and now its an SR (RS)
Bible and my bike says first two models were pearl white, solid red and pearl green........Bible shows only RS with red bodywork with white stripes and one red stripe....doesnt mention pearl....but that means nothing......what colour scheme are you going for? |

Hello Steve,
yes, that's exactly what I thought! however, checking the frame number, it's an RS. Unfortunately the bike had been bodged together from bits at some stage and had DB1S colours and a standard 2-2 exhaust. I'm now trying to make it close to the RS spec. but using standard Bim composite wheels. The bike originally came with a composite front wheel and Marvic rear wheel so I'm on the lookout for a Marvic front at some stage, and maybe put it on when I take the bike off the road (it's pretty potholed around these parts).
Fortunately, Bimota classic parts came up trumps with the decals and I managed to find a Triumph Hinckley Tiger rear lamp (CEV249) which is the same as the DB1, so ever onward! I'm fairly sure that the stripes are plain white but thought I'd check as the white on the DB1 is pearl.
Cheers, MikeJ |
