Title: Haro Zippo
Post by: stevepeanut on July 02, 2015, 04:19 PM
I don't think I've ever posted a pic of this bike, I was showing it to Ed today then realised I've never put it on here.

Anyway here is my bike, a Haro Zippo 1997, which is slowly turning into a pack of opal fruits. I got the frame, forks and bars off Spen, the rummaged around and found wheels, tyres, grips and a seat. Just whatever spares I had lying around. It ended up a bit multi coloured.

So, the big question, long term it needs a repaint, so do I keep the colour scheme as it is, or do it all blue and white?

After looking at Ed's clown, I think it might need blue tyres.

I've decided to go with yellow and black, but the biggest thing to decide on is yellow or black tuffs?
Title: Re: Haro Zippo
Post by: stevepeanut on August 08, 2015, 04:13 PM
I sold the Orange tuffs and red primo tyres and bought some black tuffs and black tyres. Looks a lot better. I can't decide yet whether to have black seat and grips, or whether to leave those as they are.

I'd love to get back down to Hereford for a ride out, that one was the first one we ever did. Its just so close to our yearly isle of man TT holiday, so very hard to get to. It'll be good to have a catch up.

Jaymz is sorting me a seat, the last thing this bike needs is some black grips.

What would be a good midskool era correct late 90s choice?
Title: Re: Haro Zippo
Post by: pickle on August 14, 2015, 02:35 PM
ODI Roughnecks  :daumenhoch:

Or ODI Longnecks as well which they still make  :daumenhoch:

For ages I've not done anything with this bike other than ride it. I never liked the all black tyres on black wheels. I decided to buy some tan walls, I got some Ilegal Magros, a bargain at £15 for the pair new. It looks lots better now. I still need to get black grips and seat too, then it'll be finished.
