Josh, Great Effort!!

I used to play and spray my bikes when I was 12 but they never looked as good as yours does!!

I'm sure if Del see's this thread, he'll do you some fancy decals

WELL DONE MATE

Gary72 · « **Reply #14 on:** May 06, 2008, 11:34 PM »

Well done, get it finished and get riding, heard you have had problems with pedals, just to let you know one side is a left hand thread and so tightens up the opposite way

cool to see the kids building like we did!!! keep it up and ride it into the ground and build it again.

josh_spratty · « **Reply #16 on:** May 07, 2008, 07:20 AM »

dont worry ill ride it enough ive already rid my ruption to destruction hopefully i wont take it that far

thanks for all the posts

pickle · « **Reply #17 on:** May 07, 2008, 08:23 AM »

i can't see pictures at work due to stupid surfcontrol but superb work on building up your own ride! i think we all used to be able to strip our bikes and pretty much fix anything on them by 14 BITD.......Very refreshing to see a young'n doing the same thing!

i'm sure your new Haro will last a whole lot longer than your old Ruption

Top work fella!!!

Mattdub · « **Reply #18 on:** May 07, 2008, 08:36 AM »

Good work Josh , good luck with the build

Well Done Josh

It's cool to see a kid of your age as committed as you obviously are

Looks reet nice btw

JT Smooth · « **Reply #20 on:** May 07, 2008, 10:17 AM »

Good work young man

josh_spratty · « **Reply #21 on:** May 07, 2008, 07:28 PM »

thanks everyone

maybe an oldskool bike next to annoy my dad some more

josh_spratty · « **Reply #22 on:** May 07, 2008, 08:03 PM »

is there a powder coater on here? thinking of spraying it bright orange

pickle · « **Reply #23 on:** May 07, 2008, 09:33 PM »

i wouldn't worry about that Josh......ride it into the ground and use your money to replace the broken bits.....colour's fine the way it is in my oppinion

josh_spratty · « **Reply #24 on:** May 08, 2008, 05:56 PM »
