Great work, well done, can't beat a good E.T.

I love these threads, cant beat a resto of your bike from BITD. I dont have mine unfortunately, but if I didi'd be well proud to do half as good a job as you have there.

The fact you even painted it yourself is great. Too easy to send it for powder coating, but its got the personal touch stamped all over it.

Yup, i'm in Bristol, I know where the track is & remember SR cycles in Patchway. There used to be a track in Stockwood & thats where i used to ride, aswell as St George park & Bedminster.

Thanks for all the comments chaps, when I mucked up the white first time I remember thinking I really hope people dont see this & think thats the worst ET i've ever seen. I think I rushed it first of all then had to take a step back, calm down & start again, everything went perfectly from then on.

Excellent one mate, your bike from being a youngster Wow that one's a keeper

That's a super lookin' ET

This hobby is very addictive so do you have any more projects in the pipeline? It's hard to stop at just one bike

What a great story and resto thread! Top job to, the results are astounding, I even had a tear in my eye reading through the topic. Superb.

excellent story and job mate, nice1

Haro82 · « **Reply #46 on:** September 11, 2009, 07:46 PM »

Absolutely brilliant job there mate.

I love it that it is your own bike that you have brought back, I luckily kept my Haro Gen 1 and brought that back to life a bit back and like you say it quite emotional putting it all back together and seeing the end result.

Top stuff

HARODAVE · « **Reply #47 on:** September 13, 2009, 09:37 PM »

One of the fridge! We got it off a newsagent that were buying new fridges & slinging this one out as it was on its last legs, that was about 8 years ago & it still works...just.
