Just got home from work this morning to a letter from Parcelforce depot in Nottingham

THE HARO IS HERE WAITING FOR ME.......YIPEEEEEE!

Got to get some bloody sleep though so can't go and pick it up today

Not too bad, customs charges were only £23 so not too bad at all - still begrudge paying VAT on a bloody frame and fork set thats 20 odd years old

Well worth it though when i get it all built - just got to start getting the bits for it as and when funds allow.

mightynimrod · « **Reply #19 on:** November 06, 2006, 10:35 AM »

Cheers mate, i've got some blue Z rims coming too and white panaracers to stick on it.

Need a decent brake set (gonna strip a pink set methinks) and a few other bits to get it sorted.

Will be nice to take it out when it's done.

mightynimrod · « **Reply #20 on:** November 10, 2006, 11:24 AM »

.Good work so far

mightynimrod · « **Reply #22 on:** November 10, 2006, 11:31 AM »

Im bloody excited about getting it done, it's what i wanted as a lad.

Im not 100% what scheme to go with though, black Am'e tri grips, black panaracers and black seat or the same but it white?

Black looks classy but then white looks in yer face stunning.

I know either will probably look good im just undecided.

Anyone offer up any ideas?

snav69 · « **Reply #23 on:** November 10, 2006, 11:48 AM »

I would go with the white option , Blue , White & Chrome . Mmmmmmm Lovely

But that would be my my personal preference , if it was mine

mightynimrod · « **Reply #24 on:** November 10, 2006, 11:58 AM »

Well, ive got a white kashimax copy coming, white panaracers, white MX seat clamp and some MX1000's in silver with white dia compe cables - just need to get some decent pedals, might have them blue to contrast, i can always strip em if it looks pap.

If it doesn't look right - sod it i can always change it.
