Why would someone have taken the time to fit a headset if it hadn't been built up. Pics are very sketchy - what's he trying to hide on the RH side $:-\$

Sorry mate

It should have read....

Ive never seen a nicer one.

That will go big imo. That is the best condition one and i know it hasnt been rechromed. All original.

I did have one but sold it to Muffski. It was original and mint too.

Might be in for that one on ebay though.

munners · « **Reply #9 on:** July 17, 2009, 08:20 PM »

That is tooooooooo nice Sam not to be interested in.

I will regret that one if i dont buy it as i regret selling my GEN 1 out of all the bikes i sold.

Swivel · « **Reply #10 on:** July 17, 2009, 08:28 PM »

May not be nos but looks too clean if its been in a shed. I know of a few that's like that and they have been rechromed, with the instructions to not polish the dropouts and the knurling is untouched too. Makes it look authentic too. Leave it out in a leaky shed for a year in all weathers, hey presto, you have a frame that looks old! But as Ozone says, it has a headset in it, so can't be nos.

those forks aren't HARO either !

look more like Queen Vic forks

very nice!! I would rate mine as nice, but then Im biased

Ive only just found out about this - I know the seller very well he is involved in the renovation process at Woodham Warriors BMX club. He is also on here - signon Bully - this is his: http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php'topic=53107.0

He may well have his idea of NOS mixed up but that is a genuine frame.

He has a shed full of other stuff he has been sitting on and needs to sell - im trying to get a nosey but he has funeral fees to pay and wants top money hence the ebay.

Ill keep to myself what else im told he has until i can confirm exactly what is there. Im waiting on a call from him.

thecrooch · « **Reply #21 on:** July 21, 2009, 04:49 PM »

Right ive just spoken to him - the story had got a bit mixed up - the funeral expenses are for the original owner of the bikes. He has died recently & Colin (Bully) is selling the bikes for his family as he died without insurance and they need the money to pay the bills.

Colin was there when the Gen 1 was bought - they found it in a small local bike shop in Kent hanging on a wall and they paid £80 for it - Colin is kicking himself because there was a TA next to it that he had the option but didnt take it. Its never been built but has had the cups pressed into it. he said it basically got transfered from one wall to the other.. it has the Torker Serial no.s

He also has:

Another Haro - Blue with Blue Forks (yet to check serial no.s so not sure of year or model)
A Vector Mk2 Frame and Forks
A CW Cruiser (frame no. TFL 250) that needs restoration
A Vitus, shown in the Museum here - http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php'topic=52146.0
2 GT Pro's - 1 OS one not.
Mongoose decade.

He wont take offers as explained above but he'll let me know as and when he is ready to list and ill announce it in this thread.

If you have any questions - im happy to ask him.

Swivel · « **Reply #22 on:** July 21, 2009, 05:16 PM »

Yep I retract my statements, this is NOS alright. The headset was fitted to protect the head shape I reckon. So there you have it, another holy grail!!!!!!!!!!!!

munners · « **Reply #23 on:** July 21, 2009, 05:31 PM »

QUADROPHENIA · « **Reply #24 on:** July 21, 2009, 05:33 PM »
