Don't know if it would really class as mid, so excuse me if it doesn't

My girlfriend has a KHE Dirty Buster that she wants to shift so she can buy an old school BMX.

Problem is i have no clue where to start, i'm just after a bit of background info on it. Was it half decent when it was released?

And the main query i have is what sort of price should she be looking for?

I don't think it's all original as it's got this horendous glittery haro seat on it.

I'll try and get some pics soon, but thought i'd ask in advance.

After a quick bit of research, apparently it was released as a homage to German porn star Dolly Buster!!!

Don't know anything about it mate. Going on what my girlfriend says, she got it second hand about 6 years ago.

After a bit of research i reckon it could be '00/'01???

I take it you know what seat that is then??

JT71 · « **Reply #14 on:** May 28, 2009, 06:07 AM »

the seat looks like a Haro Dave Mirra one, just lke the wrecked one on my DK, wouldn't mind it incase I decide to resto it with the same parts it has on now rather than what it would have had on it from new.

KHE's internal gyro

A solution to a problem that never existed in the first place

Only other company I`ve seen use them is the Honda branded BMXs with disc brakes from Toys R Us...says a lot really

JT71 · « **Reply #19 on:** May 28, 2009, 07:12 PM »

Rayleigh used a version, but it's even more hideous as the headtube is only fat at the top. minging.

had it been the regular headtube version i'd have been well up for it.

fugazi · « **Reply #20 on:** May 28, 2009, 07:42 PM »

KHE also had the only fat at the top system diatech sh*te & only went back to a normal headtube a few years ago

I remember seeing a normal 1 1/8 dirty buster in my local bike shop when they first came out, wasn't too bad looking for the money, the back end was like a late sabbath, not like that one with the coke can headtube.

the F-set gyro system is on the current Raleigh Burner range too...

F-set, that's it!!! With a big hole in the side of the headtube to do up the brake cable
