Here is what the production framesets will look like.....
-
That looks sh1t.

That looks sh1t.
Must say, it looks a whole lot better as a frame set.
Still haven't quite worked out the point of these yet :-\
-
Each to their own and in fairness its only the same as alot of bikes/frames that people regularly buy and use occaisonally,. Retro pub bike?....yep, shiny exotic clothes maiden for your spare room?.....most deffinately, Race bike...er no, dirt jump, park,mess around bike.....er no, although possibly, if you need something shiny to sit on whilst you watch people riding
What a fantastic way to spend money that you haven't got on something you dont need though.
And it does look better with proper wheels attached, doesn't it :daumenhoch:
-
That looks sh1t.
Bit harsh.....
Looks like a nicely built frameset, parts on the built bike above needs some attention though... Supposed to be an early 80's retro, so needs skinwalls, etc...,
I won't be buying one, purely cos i don't really like Skyway frames, .... And also every other old school bmx fan will have one

You know me Rob, never one to follow the pack...
Never wanted a Gen 1 either..... :crazy2:
-
No i've never been a gen 1 fan myself.........not really a Haro fan at all really :-\
-
Mine will get used for the ride into work if it's not raining. 8 miles each way. :daumenhoch:
All parts are ready to fit already, I just couldn't help myself, so have a mixture of Profile, Chris King, Pauls Comp, SR, DMR...
This'll be my first 24" so no idea what it'll ride like! :D

nor me
i actually dont like bmx at all im just a compulsive shopper and just cant help myself buying all this crap
-
I guess it could make a daily commuter/rider, which is what I use my OM Flyer for. Otherwise I'm still not sure what it's for as it's not a repop bike for proper OS riding, nor is it a full-on modern bike.

I'll second all that was said ;)

A bit harsh maybee Brothers.
I think any firm that goes to the effort of making a retro frame and makes it with modern geometry is doing all right by me.
much better than the re-issue Mongoose effort that had completeley unusable old geometry.
Frame looks cool to me.
I'd probably change the forks for Landing Gears though and turn the frame into a DirtBrothers version. Haha
Keep the faith. L

these look nice but what worries me is i know chilly(rampchild) from kettering snapped quite a few of these bitd on 20" and now we all all bigger and these are longer etc suerly they have to be slightly weaker than the 20" :-\
