Following the previous thread about this f&f, well it arrived and I have turned it into this, which I am going to the pub on in about an hour!!

Cheers Rob for the frame and forks, cleaned up great, only spent an hour or so, so its not perfect, but it will get scraped a bit as I fall off it at the boardroom!!

New stickers on order!!

Spec.

Haro Mirra 540 F&F
OX knee saver bars (cheers BillStupp)
Federal cranks
araya 48's powdered white, newly laced with SS spokes into rattle can mongoose hubs)
Hombre caliper onto a tech 77 lever
ODI lock on grips
Fusion style seat post
a seat from a bike!!
Robinson stem
GT pedals from Steve Costa (did find the screws eventually Steve, but only Brass!!)

weighs in at slightly over 14.5 tons, but feels nice and solid. Got to put 44-16 on it though, at 39-15 the chain is rubbing the brake post. Need to sort out some proper tyres too, it was these nobblies or some all red freestyle tyres( yuk!!)
Might swap the wheels for some new skyways if anyone fancies a swapsy!!

It will be retired in time for the winter when it shall become the snowbike I was given it for!

Cheers again Rob.

Sweet!

I also remembered that this f&f was used in a Rom Jam the other year. Gingerholmes and I built it up with as much heavy gear as we could find, wrenched the seat up as high as it would go and the bars way forwards, then gave it to the newschoolers for a best trick comp.

Was proper funny, no-one could ride it. If memory serves me correctly, Chris Nunn won it in the end with a flip out of the concrete halfpipe.

I had some tasty no foot wheelies on it of course
