Post by: griff on February 24, 2011, 11:11 PM: good thing about the elina is that it diverts attention away from the obviously non-era correct bell :angel:

rounds are on the mongoose which is also ready to ride except needs new lower gyro cables fitting :daumenhoch:

not sure which to fall off first....

Nice one Griff looking great and liking the seat post especially :daumenhoch:

Decals are looking awesome
Title: Re: Finally finished my haro! few crappy indoor pics until I can get it in daylight
Post by: Spen69 on February 25, 2011, 08:31 AM: Nice touch on the decals Griff - Del is Da man when it comes to a bit of custom work ;-)

You've obviously not ridden it on a ramp yet though bud as the first time you bale you will get caught up on the snakey as you can't slam it, so I expect you'll do the hacksawing yourself! Just be carefull bud...

Looks awesome bud, especially the tyres. Nicely done at long last!

Post by: Munnyella on February 25, 2011, 08:42 AM: Nice one Griff, looks great, I think you'll find the `finally finished' comment in the title slightly out, you'll be tweaking it forever Mate.

only kidding Bud, I am not offended by them, in fact, had one myself once!!

See you Saturday!

Post by: griff on February 25, 2011, 09:12 AM: thanks to all for comments :daumenhoch:

funny still no-one's told me to take the bell off ;D

as for not having ridden it on a ramp yet - I haven't ridden it anywhere (Creation will be it's maiden voyage outside unless I can have a roll tomorrow when I get back home to walsall)

will try and get some pics done before I start ruining it - also will have the mongoose finished tomorrow - just need to slap some rear cables on it
(ooo 2 done in one week, what will I do now.....?)

I know :smitten: that's all down to the excellent resto skills of sid1972 :4_17_5:

considering he started with this I think he did an amazing job...

didn't think that that the 99p stores would ever rank higher than Different Path as a purveyor of authentic OS bmx bits

bloody kashimafia ;D
