..Too sexy for a Haro.  Easy way to spot a DP over a Haro FST is: if you see a Haro FST but think "feck, I don’t recall FSTs looking that incredible before", if this happens, it’s a DP Firebird Freestyler..  Easy..

Same applies for mistaking Paris for Nicky Hilton or, Kylie for Danny..

Paul you don't have to be rich to pick one up, they are cheaper than a DP freestyler, recently i've seen 85/86 framesets go less than £200.

Serious??!  I have watched quite a few slip away from me price wise over the last month.. £140 would have been within my price range (for the right style/condition).  Was yours like this:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/280664650182 (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/280664650182)

..and in good condition?

Sounds like I should restart my Haro searching..

It's not for sale peeps unless your offering ebay money, it's a customers bike been hanging in the window for a few years and is not really intrested in selling, says he has seen them on ebay getting £900!!! lol

Title: Re: Hanging in a shop today?
Post by: Nicfred on May 19, 2011, 09:39 AM
I rung the chap this morning, he says its one of his inlaws bike, a 40 year old lad who still lives at home with his mum and dad, they now want him to get rid of some of his stuff so he thought he would try and sell it.
The sign on the bars just says for sale ask for details but no price.
I also picked him up on the seat and seat post and he said it was just one he found in his shop so put them on so it would be rideable.
The chap says he has seen them selling on ebay for around £8 - £900  ???   but he is open to offers around that price but he is not fused if the sells or not?

Mate sent us this as he knows I like old BMX, its hanging up in a shop in Manc.

Kid who runs the shop is no mug though, when asked how much & he said, 'dunno, bout a grand'

Looks ok  though from that phone-snap, but not a grands-worth.

There's a Patterson race bike with undrilled forks in a bike shop window near me in Kent.
I asked him about it and he said it wasn't for sale "sentimental family.." reasons.
It's go those mountain bike type handlebars on it aswell which upset me even more.
