I've finally found a 1999 haro dave Mirra pro, only took 14 months lol
It needs a light restoration but its all original apart from the grips which I should be able to find
And it's hardly been ridden
Can't wait to get it sorted

Stripped this down now so I can get it cleaned up but can't decied wether to paint it or not?
It's not in bad knick but its not mint so I probs will end up going all out on it as usual lol

It's only original once - the scars make it more mid-school fella. Just my opinion though

Yeah I know what you mean man
Will see how good I can get the rest of it cleaned up first and go from there

I like that, wouldn't mind one myself.

monteryroom · « **Reply #5 on:** October 11, 2014, 04:38 AM »

yeah, don't paint it! the scars make 'em cooler. i've done it in the past and it just doesn't feel the same as a bike with real paint.

Thats super cool! I am a big fan of the colour scheme! Don't paint it keep it as it is and get out and have some fun!

Nice bike, I'm trying to think if it's a Mirra or Nyquist I have in my shed......??

Seen as I'll be moving in a couple of weeks I guess I'll soon have to have a clear ot of the shed again so it may just make me pull my finger out and get it going again....

Nice find

I'll bet that'll come up all sparkly without a new paint job.

Give it a go before you make any rash decisions... I would.

Sick Bike, that'll look a treat with a clean and tidy up.

midschooljon · « **Reply #11 on:** October 31, 2014, 09:42 PM »

Don't paint it. You will regret it.

Dodge-13 · « **Reply #12 on:** October 31, 2014, 11:27 PM »

Il get some better pics of the frame when I can to show you the scars on it
See what you guys think

But in the mean time I cleaned up the sprocket and bars the other day

Then I scored some NOS Alex supra e rims!
I allready had some NOS haro mega hubs I found awhile ago so taking them to get built up next week

Keep it a survivor - it all looks fresh

Dodge-13 · « **Reply #14 on:** November 08, 2014, 12:54 PM »

Update:

As im waiting to find a mint crank for this and the pedals need a refurb i decided to build it up as it is then il paint it once i have all the other parts mint

Anyway this is how it looks at the min

midschooljon · « **Reply #15 on:** November 08, 2014, 05:44 PM »

Update
Got the wheels back from my builder they look awesome
Then the kmc chain and sst oryg cables came in the post so I could get it finished
So here it is all original spec only thing I need is some bar ends but im not sure if they should be plastic plugs or alloy ones?

fischflo · « **Reply #20 on:** November 16, 2014, 01:39 PM »

wow. how could you even consider repainting it, it looks as good as new! ----Although, after the 1st pic i thought it was very dark blue, that would've looked good, too though. but black's slick on this

Wheres the scars gone

CustardLips · « **Reply #21 on:** November 16, 2014, 05:22 PM »

Looks sweet as fook and no new paint... wise choice.

Dodge-13 · « **Reply #22 on:** November 16, 2014, 06:38 PM »

Cheers dudes

It was pretty dull when i got it but i polished it with some autoglym and was surprised how well it came up
It has some scratches and chips but it still looks good now ive built it up
I think cause my last 2 builds the evel & condor had fresh mint paint i thought this should be up to the same standard

rodriguez · « **Reply #23 on:** November 17, 2014, 12:07 AM »

That's turned out really well

Dannywhac · « **Reply #24 on:** November 17, 2014, 07:05 AM »

Spot on that - no idea what the factory bar ends would be but there's some black metal Pr1mo ones on t'bay at the mo that would suit?
