Some great builds you had there, wicked colours too but my favourite has to be the white Trickstar. I never knew Skyway made tyres either

Nice builds there! Loving that red and white beat

When I first got into collecting, haro tyres were 25 from vert-ego, haro 85 ish bars were 30-40 nos as with gt freestyle bars. And 901 sets were 40! My dad has about 5 nos sets in the cupboard, 1 nos set of green haro tyres too

I think they are just branded Panaracers, but very rare.

Looking at these bikes just reminds me what was available a few years back, I remember looking at Vert-ego and Alans around 03-04 and thinking I'm not paying that much for a load of old cack.

Tefore · « **Reply #16 on:** December 31, 2011, 12:30 PM »

Yeah, the profiteers took all the fun out of it IMO. It was great being able to build a NOS frameset up with (genuinely) NOS parts which were readily available and weren't being shilled to feck on eBay.

Haha!

wish it was still like that now, where it wasn't an investment to buy a pair of pedals or something, and you could build a nos bike for real cheap. Especially that streetbeat!!
