missed out on a complete survivor chrome mid 90s Sport on ebay by a couple of quid... kicking myself for not bidding more but it was only £25 last night!

anyone on here get the win?

naw... thats why I thought I had it! just listed as 'Silver Haro BMX' ... it was a 95ish bashy sport type bike but pretty much stock... I sniped £85.51 and it went for £87... I would have paid £150 but I didn't think it would get anywhere near

I will learn for the next time.... it wasn't that nice but it would have been a nice winter project

Next?

You tit.

Always put in what you would be prepared to pay at the last minute. If it comes in cheaper, you're a happy boy. If you lose, then at least you've made someone else pay proper money for it!

Sorry Ed, the bashguard king won it!

Not sure what route I'm going with it yet, may go for a survivor build or bling it up.

Not all is lost then Ed.............you can snag it in a few months time

bargain Rob and nice little sprinkling of salt to the wound

Could that not be a Bashguard Shredder?

Obviously, those who bid may have more info, but my tired eyes see no peg mounts. and there ain't much to go on from the write up.

Bargain whatever.

Is it some sort of race bike hybrid, it had a speedo on it.

Well done Rob... at least its gone to someone on here

As I keep saying... I'm not mega fussed as it was 95/96 and probably not a sport ( more like a Shredder ) but it was cheap as chips for ages. I said to myself it would be a nice project for winter but £85 tops ... so fair play to Robbo who wanted to pay more... that was yesterday and today is a new day

I've still got my 91 and thats my baby

Not sure the title of 'Bashguard King' is quite right though Rob

you're still not forgiven in my book for fookin up that NOS silver/blue one

fugazi · « **Reply #13 on:** November 01, 2011, 09:55 AM »

My guess is a 1996 Basher, it's identical to Haro ad's in Ride mag at the time.

ED209 · « **Reply #14 on:** November 01, 2011, 04:01 PM »

pretty close... by the graphics its a 1997 Haro Basher.

much later than I thought so I'm happy now I stuck to my guns @ £85.

http://www.bikepedia.com/quickbike/BikeSpecs.aspx?Year=1997&Brand=Haro&Model=Basher&Type=bike

Its the same age as my Shredder that I just gave away

brummie · « **Reply #15 on:** November 01, 2011, 04:04 PM »

gotta keep that speedo on it too

You still whining about this?

It doesnt matter what year it is, I paid £3.71 more for it than you wanted to bid so its a bargain rider and hell I should be able to turn a nice little profit with few nice pictures and a better listing on ebay if I wanted to.

And to think I felt a little bit guilty you missed it and nearly offered it to you for what I paid, clearly by the amount your poo-pooing it I didnt need to worry.
