Just picked this up from a mate who has owned it from new , he said he rode twice then hung it in tbe rafters of his garage where its been since..

Haro tyres are like new , various fusion parts , DC bulldogs and levers etc...

Am going to retro build it as a Master or Freestyler or something

Wireds on the museum is quite tidy , Gavins white build on here is too

First off, strip and polish to see hownut comes up ..

Awesome! I love these little zippos... Cheap, cheerful and look ace when theyre done!

I let my white build go a couple of months ago to fund a 91 Sport.....really enjoyed building it!

Cant wait to see the finished piece!  :daumenhoch:

think Masters are chromo ..?  http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,125307.msg1204268.html#msg1204268

while there is also f.ex a '98 on the museum that's like yours (decals...), and  also the Haro serial thread there http://bmxmuseum.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=206889   gives no clear info (even tho there's a bloke there stating: "i just got a haro frame twin top tube from the junk yard is it a zippo or master serial is ho-k6a1965")....  i'd still say '96

... because there is a 6 in the #  :LolLolLolLol:

It doesnt look as though your gyro is knackered Wez.....to me it looks as though the top black plate under the locking nut is upside down  :daumenhoch:
