Haro zippo ??

[m1ke]

been wanting a twin top tube for ages but wasnt wanting to pay the huge amounts they go for and spotted this on ebay last night and picked it up just now...



forks are not haro and now live in the bin, needs stripping and paint but overall its solid  anyone else have one of these all fixed up ?

[FROFF]

Might be able to accomodate you..

I've got one for the Missus to roll around on.....

990 mounts = Haro Revo

Normal caliper mounts = Haro Zippo

Bought one of each, gave the Zippo to my brother Simon (Hootski70) and he was ripping about at Blackpool on it all friday night, so look for the pics when PeterJ posts them up - it's white with a custom blue set of Freestyler decals on it. Gave the Revo to my mate's son and he loves it as it's chrome and looks the bollox - has Freestyler decals on it too thanks to the man himself Del

Edit - here you go, the white frame on the left

will keep an eye out for the pics  cheers for the other pics think ive got my mind already set on white with blue skyways and blue parts and some freestyle decals 

[FROFF]

Cheers Glen! Wheels are Alex Supra E's laced to CNC'd Crupi 48's. I went with those decals because they were nice a solid to set onto that fat downtube plus I built it for my wife who loves pink!

Nothing like giving a mid school frame some love and nice parts to make it SHINE. Bet you were very pleased with that.

I would say £60 is probably the complete MAX you want to pay for a Zippo frame.  You can get minty Zippo bikes for £120 (what I paid for my son's), and I have seem them less than this before.

Whats the top tube length of these zippos?
Anyone know frame weight?
Froff, whats your complete bike weigh?

I agree, it will probably go for £61, someone will sit on it at £6 till the last 10secs and get sniped at £61

The thing I have never worked out with Zippo's is how to distinguish a common/made from cast iron and concrete/cost bugger all, Zippo from a very late Chromo Master.  To me they look identical.  Perhaps they are identical with the only difference being the Master has lighter Chromo tubing..?

Btw, I love the feel of the Zippo.  I think the geometry is stop on and just feels "right".  Lovely bike..

Btw, btw - I LOVE the above pimped Zippo's.  I never considered pimping my son's Zippo but maybe this can be a nice winter project for me - I could leave all the existing components on the bike and just get it powedered so it will cost £60 + another £20 for decals..  Hmmmmm…. Tempted...

I just looked up the ebay Zippo.  Defo not worth £60 to me; its just a stock rider frame.  If it had been powered, sure, but not a rider.  Remember, nice complete Zippos can be had for £100, indeed, there was a lovely Zippo recently on Gumtree for a month with black Skyways!  This started at £150 but eventually was down to £80!!!!!  I despro wanted it for my son but it was yellow and he said "no way!!"

Ok, here's the chrome one I built for my mate's son - it's got all the parts off the Mongoose that I gave to you (Jaymz) for your nephew, but he loves it and let's face it, if someone gave you this bike for nothing I think you'd all love it

[Jaymz]

I wouldnt accept it for free, there would have to be some sort of exchange. very nice that, I remember seeing it before, and randomly i put the same chainwheel on the goose when i built it up for jack XD

Cheers mate, yeah love it to bits,was my first build too.
Only change done since pic, now has a new set of KHE Lamello tyres on it, which looks even better(in my biased opinion )

Calum
All my bikes are on the MY BIKES section.....take a look

People always say the Revos have 990 mounts.

Well mine never and I've had it since new
