Great Job Jon  :daumenhoch:, the up the gusset shot is the only thing that gives it away  :2funny:..looks as good as an old one to me mate ...not the usual type of gusset shot i like to look at , :angel: but it`s a great looking bike ...  :smitten:

Nice Haro  :coolsmiley: Shotgun on a rider hey - flash git  ::)

Alright JohnnyGoose, what's wrong with a Shotgun on a rider eh.......

Here's my next resto project....... what do you think? I chucked it together with the help of my old friend Jack Daniels this evening, but this one's a real Haro (well, made in Tawain or wherever)  :2funny: :daumenhoch:



Oh, here's the blag Gen1 now.... still a great head-turner of course :coolsmiley:

First time I have seen a set of those Australian knock-off decals used on a build.  I like the bike but those decals? :-\

Yep, I couldn't agree more but I just slung it together quick last night to check I liked it before it gets a fresh powder and some Del magic decals - gonna be a custom set as these are bobbins and just put on to see how it looked....... oh, and it's a rattle-can spray job too >:D

Can't wait to get it done properly :daumenhoch:
