In 1981 I got my first BMX...a Team Murray. It was an absolute piece of crap...but I loved it. The single bolt stem was a masterpiece!
In 82 I wanted to do Diamond back silver streak build, but the nearest shop were sold out of f&f so I went for the DB pro. I think that's what it was called, it was the same frame as the Harry Leary but normal chrome, not smoked. Wanted black tuffs but the writing on the frame was red so it got red tuffs.
In 83 I built a P.K. Ripper, white frame and white Aero zytecs (they didn't have white tuffs in stock)
Stopped riding a year later and the Ripper sat dormant in my bedroom. In 85 a mate of mine who was still riding wanted to swap my bike for his Haro master. The frame was sprayed dark red with black Z rims and it looked good so I swapped bikes and used the Haro for something to get to school. Spent hours flexing the z rims...til they stayed flexed!
Every now and then I look on eBay for old 80's bmx's out of curiosity, and recently got hold of a 2014 Mike D Haro sport.....so I've ended up here!
I've read that the Vector bars on the tribute bike are 22.2 and not 21.1. I've never been a lover of the Vector bars and wanted to get some white Haro bars, so does anyone know of a decent stem that wouldn't look out of place?
