i had my black pk on skinny wheels a while ago and liked it then swapped and changed as you do and never really liked it on any of the other wheels i put it on, then got this ball burnished ripper and transferred the parts over off the black one which with this all being blue silver with a bit of black matched better

this was how it was


anyway heres the pics,, finally finished just needed the renthals fitting  :daumenhoch:

bin the valve caps, donuts and headlock and you can save even more weight
after that it's gonna get a bit tougher unless you get mr. drill out  ;D

looks lovely that  :daumenhoch:

There's lots of items on that 'Weapon' that could be changed before the drill needs to come out to lighten it up.

But it is a very nice looking bike as it stands ;)

i wouldn't mind trying some race forks on it as the landing gears weigh a ton ,   :smitten: bottema race forks  would be nice :smitten: :smitten:

yep we love it its the first time i've sold anything and i've had to force myself , well other half permanantly moaning "what you frikkin doing with all these kids bikes round da house ya weirdo" etc also helped, the black one was really nice i just didn't have the right colour components to do it right , it was the old multi colour swap shop going on as you said and there was no way i wasn't using my dx cranks  :smitten: on it


Are they red alloy hubed skyways on that Haro  ???

no and yes peter........ they are steel hubbed square flange ones really early i reckon 80-81 with coaster and just the serial number on the rim only says skyway on the hub itself  in really nice order as well

Think the haro would look better with some spoke's on rather than Skyways.....

Humm who could you sell those to................  :coolsmiley:

I hope the Renthal bars are the  Superstrongs and not Superlites ,, I snapped a pair bunny hopping when I was 13  and less than 8 stone  :-\


Coppull nights back on  :)
