Apart from my Skyway TA, which I've had since 1984, this was the first NOS build I put together. Parts mainly from Alans and Skatepool. 85 Haro sport. I guess the cost was just over Â£400. Not a bargin, but less than a NOS build would cost today.

Wish I still had this too!

I think it stood me at 250/275 quid if I remember right!

First bike I bought to build is still in boxes and has never been built up, an 85 Haro Master bought from Skatepool in 2004. I guess at some point it will be built, maybe soon seeing as I have all the parts now although I have had all the parts since about 2010!

First built bike was my ELF although this was bought as a complete but I pretty much changed everything bar the seatpost, F&F and Bars....

Then my Scorpion a short while later...

This was my first build in 2012, an 81 mongoose motomag CA1 .
I bought the frame and forks from a guy in Michigan US and it had been in the rafters of his parent's garage for 26 years, along side it was a kuwahara E.T..
The frame and forks were in very good condition apart from scratches to the original decals and paint.
I sold this 4 months after building it.
It also had the original shop decal on the seat post mast from Luddington cycles Michigan.
This picture was taken just after I built it, the handlebars went back a bit and the seat post was lowered about 2" after riding it
