Haro Zippo F&F off ebay
«

I bought this the other day:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/220991536597'ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
I'm starting to wish I hadn't
I did'nt know what it was so I took a gamble. I've not heard good things about them since I won it.
Aaah well it'll keep me out of mischief. I'm going to keep the build to mainly Haro parts but I'm not going overboard.

I had this in my watch list, but thought the start price was a little high tbh. I've seen one powdered white with FST decals on that I liked, belongs to Simon on here

As said, stick with it dude. Don't go overboard with the parts but it will make a nice rider.
I have a few haro bits for sale if you need anything, pm me

Thanks fellers. I might see if my Daughter wants it building up to her spec. Well she can pick the colour or the seat, tyres and. Brake cables
Thanks for the offer of the parts. I'll pm you later on. I'll have to wait until next pay day before I start spending.

Could have been worse! I hate that feeling when you think you have spent over the odds... which you probably did a bit but as I say... could have been much worse!
I brought a complete Zippo for £36 not long back but it was not great condition - your chrome one is nice
Do it up as a 91 Master - Del has the decals - and flog it again for twice as much if you want to move one

£50 odd quid don't seem to high? Forks look a little bent though......maybe the picture?

like they said ...stick with it , i've had one for years , they are a bit porky but ride pretty nice and you can always "old school " it with some Master decals , cause you got the f&f cheaply , stick to a reasonably low budget and get it ridden. Mine has been a master rep, its now my daily rider , many times i've thought of getting rid , but i haven't been able to part with it, twin top tubes always tick my boxes
good luck with the build !!!

'ello Brother
Don't be too hard on yourself
Haro Zippo's are great for 2 reasons:
They have good rideable geometry with A-head headset and they look fckn good with old-school Haro Decals.
It is an adult frameset so I would build it for yourself though.
Keep the faith Brother. L

Thanks for all the positive feed back everyone.
I was considering going down the old school decals route. Is there anywhere that has a gallery of available decals?
Once I've chosen the decals I can work out a colour scheme and keep an eye out for parts.
I've not been on Rad long but I'm loving it. Much to the annoyance of the wife!
Cheers
Paul.

Paul, as others have said these are a great bike just a bit chubby in the weight dept like all midschool stuff. The bike Jaymz is on about is my brother's which I gave him as a birthday present about 8 years ago when we first got back into riding BMX and only had two bikes each..... Anyway, he has a garage full of bikes (literally) and this is the bike he chooses to ride at any ramp night we go to still, so they must be better than you think
I also bought a chrome one at MK a few years ago and grabbed a set of Master decals off Del for it and built it up and gave it to my mate's son to crash about on, so it's a future classic for sure!

Now then , i've got three of these and as my bruv says above they are understated and i ride mine off and on everything . My recomendation would be to try and pick up a complete bike from your local tip or off evil bay for less than scrap value ( i give £5 for complete ) sling all the bits on it and ride it like you stole it . If you get on with it then go down the road of personalizing it , you can very quickly get carried away .
I peronally think you got a good deal there as its in good nick , they are a good strong bike with nice geometry . Welcome to rad .
