Any thoughts or info you'd like to share. A good friend from bitd says I might get on with one.

No good reason to buy one of those. You can get sports or Masters from the same era for not much more.

Yeah, that'd be me with the pearls of junk wisdom. Been looking for the thread I (obviously don't) remember, but this is the closest:
http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php'topic=125307.0 (http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php'topic=125307.0)

In any case, I'm sure it was mentioned somewhere that one of the later twin-toptube Haros was a more or less a restickered Megatube Master, like this one:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190721864791?nma=true&si=qDX4mA%2F7s6o2%2FR4zcC2eoGe3IC0%3D&rt=nc&_trksid=p4340.l2557&orig_cvip=true (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190721864791?nma=true&si=qDX4mA%2F7s6o2%2FR4zcC2eoGe3IC0%3D&rt=nc&_trksid=p4340.l2557&orig_cvip=true)

It doesn't help that there's no shortage of 'Mastered' Zippos around. And Glen's golden rule about Revos having no lugs and Zippos having them seems to be in question:
http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php'topic=112202.0
(Unless that was a Revo after all)

Zippos do get SOME love on here:

Bargain! I paid £79 for my Zippo frame & forks on ebay. That was before I got on Rad so I knew no better  :'( and there wasn't the slightest hint of a man cuddle. I did get a free set of haro bars & some brakes though  :)

I won Hootski's on ebay about 6 years ago as a complete with a fresh powdercoating and some average (but clean) parts on it for £17 from 5 miles away...... but the chrome f&f I built for my mate's son I got from Andy DelRay for £40 at MK about 3yrs ago, so they are definitely going up in value :daumenhoch:

Just get the frame filled with helium and put some light parts on it and you should have a decent bike - they are a "tad" heavy :LolLolLolLol:

I think the zippos are pretty cool to be fair :) ...maybe a little on the heavy side but as a retro rider they do they trick.  Im just building a '85 master rep with mine at the mo :)
