Well, I finally made it across the pond!
« on: February 11, 2007, 10:26 AM »
Well, hello everyone!

My first post non state-side, so to speak.  I recognize some of the names here from my normal US-based vintage BMX forums (where I'm very active).  I guess this means I'll be dividing my time between countries from now on. 

I know some of you personally through deals we've done in the past through other websites or Ebay.

I'm a HUGE Haro fan (as my screename suggests) mostly 85 Masters, but I've dabled in other years up to 87.  My collection includes about 10 Masters in total, with only one actually being a complete build (a survivor that looks new).   My pride and joy is this 1985 NOS Master F&F in chrome that is a FIRST generation with no knurling on the stays, larger gusset, and "up front" placement of the bottom bracket brace.  Here's a pic......

 
By the way, I will be visiting London and Scotland in the spring of 2008 for 2 weeks!  I can't wait!

Thanks guys!  I appreciate it.  I will check out the gallery when I get a chance.  I've popped on this site a few times in the last few years but I've never really took time to look around.  Well, now the the addiction continues to grow I'm looking for new outlets for my passion.

Here's that Master survivor that a good friend helped me get about a year ago now.........It was found in a basement in Wisconsin where it had been sitting since the mid-80s.  Some kid's parents bought it new and he used it very little.  It appeared on Ebay one night last spring.  When I got it, I couldn't believe how prestine it was, the only scratches in the paint occured when shipping it from Wisconsin to Pennsylvania.  It literally looks N.O.S......have a look

welcome aboard, always good to see someone stateside on here.

You'll find us all very strange!  :LolLolLolLol:

If you are coming in 2008 that will give you long enough to save some cash up as it is fecking expensive over here!  :uglystupid2:

Bring some NOS bike bits with you and you will make a killing.  :LolLolLolLol:

Have fun.  :daumenhoch:
