ha ha, no, but you gave steve the size of post you normally ran, then the frame was built with it for you, super super overbuild, it was ideal for park/mini.

It was the best chrome job i've ever seen! Gave in to peer pressure because it was too shiny! Had some great times on that bike.

Lazarou · « **Reply #22 on:** January 04, 2012, 12:01 AM »

As i recall it was based on a 91 Haro Sport (Steve?) it was a beast but very rideable.

ED209 · « **Reply #23 on:** January 04, 2012, 09:06 PM »

just had a flashback of a review of these frames in Ride or Dig or whatever in the mid 90s ( when I brought a Performer & was flirting with bmx again )

Anyone got that?
