Just a few of the pics above....................
Started life like this.....................

Did this with a budget of £90.................Just goes to show what you can do without spending fortunes, as my first Retro build.

I picked up a lot of tips on the restoration section & designed new graphics which are CHROME and i think really look well.

The wheels,pitbull brake,bars were all  restored by me as they were all in a bit of a sorry state, and i had frame resprayed white.

Hope you like,and it gives inspiration to someone else to have a go.

Calum.

That looks well nice.  I'm not much of a fan of 90s Haros, but that looks 1000x better with your twist :daumenhoch:
Kind of reminds me of the skyway dirtbros in the early 90s - like what Vic M had.

very smooth & suprisingly fast running, fitting the 3 piece crank upgrade deff. makes it feel smoother & more solid,skinny tyres take a bit of getting used to & the pitbull 1 i would say is 200 x better than the old rear brake.
My son had it on our garden ramp (told him if he scratched it he's history) he managed to air it saying " not as light as my Proper but looks kool"  kids  :LolLolLolLol:
