Title: bored today
Post by: Rombloke on November 06, 2005, 05:48 PM: felt a bit tom dick this morning so decided not to go out on my usual sundy am rom jaunt...by 12 o clock started to feel a bit better and decided to get a couple of bikes built.
i got this one from simon (retrogeezer) some time ago and rhys rode it to death, then i got him a new 540 for his b'day, anyways, got all the original bits back together and built up what i think looks like a real nice bike, feels solid to ride too.....

(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/v255/rombloke/5402.jpg)
its a 2000(?) haro mirra 540 air, kneesaver bars, araya 48's, basically how it left the factory minus decals

this is going up for sale so keep your eyes peeled if your after a new school ride

cheers

Post by: billstup on November 06, 2005, 11:16 PM: The weather is slowing down the ramp at the moment, mind you it`s going to be nice tomorrow but I can hardly use my right arm at the moment so I don`t think I`ll be able to get much done :(
