Hi All

After Epic last night there were a lot of comments as to - yeh my TRM is great but I'd prob do better on a newer bike... which is something I take on board and will give a go.

Now- I've spotted this.... so how much is it worth? I quite clearly displayed my lack of BMX knowledge last night and dont want to get ripped off.
I have no info apart from its a F/S Haro Dave Mirra Special and I have a price.

Is it a good bike? What sort of money should I be paying for it?

Any help is appreciated.

Jake

Nowt wrong with that bike to get you started. It might be a little on the heavy side perhaps, but I wouldn't worry about that.

Doesn't want to be more than a couple of hundred quid, as for that money we can get you a bike sorted on this forum

Lad says he wants £160- I've offered £100 and had no reply yet... Might get him to weigh it- and also measure the top tube first.

Honestly buddy, don't worry about it. The TT will not be outrageously long or short, and it'll be on the heavy side. But it really won't matter for your first ride. You'll enjoy the modern geometry and the fact the brakes work

Then after a few months if you're still into it you'll trade up to summat more to your preference. Pretty much like we all did. I'd say a bargain for £150. If you don't want to ride anymore in a few months, you'll always be able to sell a Haro.

I'd say it's well worth £150 and will see you ok at the skatepark.

hi ya mate....great to meet you last night!

if you want to get yourself a very cheap but good first new school to cut your teeth on, try one of those 06 Haro sports that Nick and Rob were on last night. you can get them for about £100 off the bay brand new! exactly the same geometry as that Haro you've posted and only a oner!

Cheers Pickle... good to meet you too.. in fact everyone was top.

A few peeps have said the same- I'm waiting to see what the guy says and if not I have my eyes on one.
