Looking a bit deeper into the paint,it looks like the original paint is grey for the frame,and black for the forks!
Was the 540 done over a couple of years then?
Really stupid question next.........where can i find parts to rebuild it?
Any pics a real help guys!
Cheers
Shorty50y :crazy2:

Yeahh, i think they were from about 1999 to 2002-ish..
They came with pretty basic Haro parts and had Tektro brakes... i had mine set up like Mirra's, which looked a lot nicer!!
I had skinwall lamello tyre's, Primo Stock wheels, profile cranks, chrome Kneesavers...
( I'll try'n find some pics of my one! )
I'm sure you could find all the bits on ebay!!
here's your grey model i found on ebay... :daumenhoch:

I'm pretty sure I have a set of the stickers shown on the Red complete here somewhere...
I've also got the signature mirra seat shown on the grey one, but it's kinda worn.
any use to you? if so, i'll dig them out and post some pics.

I've got a few bits mate I've stripped off a Haro F5 which was around the same year and spec. Seat, pedals, seat post (but it's cut down), chainring, Haro Slim bars (again cut down very slightly) bar ends, let me know if you're interested in owt and I'll get some pics sorted.

Cheers Daz,

Thanks Daz!

Ok, i cant open me photobucket account for some reason so i cant upload pics yet...??
The Haro cranks are not too bad condition, need a re-spray... but they are mega heavy i think...
so i also have D20 cranks, in chrome... much lighter, but depends on wether you want the original parts!!
so there are: Haro cranks/ black/ need re-spray...
Haro chain ring/ black/ + bottom bracket
D20 3pc/ chrome, with bottom bracket - very good condition!!
Haro twin bolt seat clamp/ black - very good condition!!
( poss ) Haro stem/ black - good condition!
Snafu hex pegs x4/ chrome, used... not bad condition, few scrapes!!
Dia compe tech 77 levers/ blk & Silver - thread half stripped on one lever though!!
Also, there is a bag FULL of brake bits up there too, im pretty sure the original Tektro brakes are in that bag,
but if not... there is defo gonna be dia compe Ad 990's in there!!
Im going up there tomorrow, and we're gonna go through all the stuff, get it all out, take pics so you can
see exactly what condition its all in!!! :daumenhoch:
Sorry to be dragging this out dude!!

didnt the Zippo have twin top tubes ?
anyway nice frame mate , think it needs a paint job tho ;D shake rattle n roll :daumenhoch:
-
No worries Dave-dont mean to hassle but u know what its like - just wanna get cracking!
This will be my first new(ish) build.........just want it to be right! I will be riding this one......unlike the ones in my bedroom!
The wife just doesnt understand it! :idiot2: :idiot2: :idiot2:
So as for parts-I am open to all suggetions,but the brakes are deff! I have to pull endos!!!!!!!!
I think I would like to keep things as original as poss,but this doesnt need to be a showpony;more a solid workhorse!
The frame is due to meet my mate N.mors this week- I think they will get on just great!(but there will be only one winner!)
I know that most of you guys are mid/new school,but spare a thought for the older guys- old school for us WAS new school at the time!
Anyway,a quick peek at another project of mine!

(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/s231/shorty50y/DSC00192.jpg)
Survivor bike-original all the way through,inc paint and decals!

hahaha!! ohh my God!!
that is the best condition Grifter ive ever seen!!!! :daumenhoch:
Still got the spongy padding on the bars!! i loved those bikes!! ;D
the top one looks very much like a Raleigh Burner!!!
-
Yes,its a White MK2 Magburner from '84.....or its supposed to be!
Some kid went nuts with a can, so everything needed to nitromorsed apart from the wheels-these were scrubbed by hand...........
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/s231/shorty50y/P6020003.jpg)
The frame is fairly tatty,but i'm workinh on it! :crazy2:

I'll be able to put pics of everything on here tomorrow!!! :daumenhoch:

Apologies for taking the p1ss on getting back to you...
here's all the stuff i have......
The Haro cranks, haro chainring & B.B./ black, need a respray & are pretty heavy like...
so i've also put on there, the chrome D20 cranks with B.B. , i thought i had all the Tektro brakes from my Haro but all i
had was the one caliper (black), the others are Ad 990, hombre & a Mil hombre... im told you can still buy the same
Tektro brakes though!! The thread on the Tech 77 levers are slightly stripped, not all the way... also, 2 pair of used Snafu Hex pegs... an ACS 16T freewheel there for some reason?? and the stem & double bolt seat clamp there tooo!!!
So, have a look, see if there's anything you want and, i dont know, make us an offer??
ohh, also i have a pair of wheels there too which were on the Haro i had... they wasnt the original wheels to that
bike, i think they came off a GT, nothing special i dont think?? and some Black KHE lamello tyres too!!

Just a quick reply to say thanks for the pics-I'll have a good look later-but I'm gonna be away for a couple of days(prob in the rain!)
I would imagine the postage is gonna be a lot on the cranks,cos they weigh a ton!
However,just looking over it,it will prob be the Haro crank set,tec levers and the tektro brake(as much of it thats there!),and
prob the seat clamp!I'll double check over the cranks I have later and give you a shout! :daumenhoch:
Thanks for the pics Dave;I didnt think you were taking the p!ss;please dont take offence!!!!!!
Wouldnt want to fall out with anyone!
Cheers,shorty50y

Bit of an update on this....
Who loves nitromors?
Not this bike!
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/s231/shorty50y/HaroBits003.jpg)
It looked like a metallic hammerite type of paint before gettimg the grey coat underneath
Now primered-needs a sand down and then back to grey for this one!
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/s231/shorty50y/HaroBits010.jpg)
Let me know what you think so far-(should i ask?!)
Be fair-this new school stuff is deffo new to me!

Thanks to all for the advice,and at long last,its done!
Cheers to Brianp for the decals and saddle(i know,i didnt use it!having it repaired!)
Cheers to Davemc for the cranks,chainwheel and brake-it sprayed up ok,didnt it?
The original idea was to paint it in grey-as it was-but i wanted something a bit brighter,and a colour i hadnt already got,SO................. :shocked:
The paint is Ford Electric Orange(or St220 colour!),sprayed with aerosol-2 coats of primer,sanded,2 coats orange,sanded,2 more orange then 2 coats of lacquer!
Wheels are new-Alex Y22 48 hole rims,tyres by Wilkos!
Chain from Asda
New gyro
Brake lever from stuff in the shed!
Enjoy!

looks very nice !!!! drop the stem a little would look even better
-
WoW!! You've done an Excellent job!!! :daumenhoch:
the cranks look brand new!!!
the whole bike looks brand new!!
Great job done!!
-
That's a lovely lookin bike!!
Propbably didn't look as good as this when it left the factory!! :shocked: :shocked:
Liking the colour mate!! :daumenhoch:
-
Are those forks bent backwards?
-
Are those forks bent backwards?
I was wondering that myself...couldn't figure if they are or if it's an optical illusion.
certainly don't look like a straight line forks to stem.
but other than that, and that the stem needs dropping down, it looks superb. good work. :daumenhoch:
-
Well done - another bike brought back to life!
One thing I dont understand though...
Mirra frames were all 1.1/8" for aheadsets and threadless forks... with a clamp on stem
How come there is a shafted quill stem in there? Is it a 1" frame? or a 1.1/8" quill stem? Or 1" forks in a 1.1/8" frame?????
-
Ohh yeahhh!!!
The actually are 1. 1/8 aheadsets....
are they threaded forks you've put on it??
-
Yeah,I think the forks are bent slightly-but this is how i picked it up!
The forks are indeed threaded,with a quill,but again,its how it came to me!(bearing in mind,it spent some of its time in a river.....!)
I havent any other forks to put on-I thought it may have been changed at one point,cos there is no way of mounting a front brake other than a caliper type!
TBH,its not that important-its more of a learning curve-I hadnt sprayed stuff before this bike!(Argos cycles in Bristol did my last resto paint job!)
So,I'll ride it slow(age...........its a curse!)And all seems well-no wobbles or niggles with it?Frame is 1.1/8th,hollow stem,but stem doesnt fit my burner-which is 1 ".....go figure!
Just glad the colour came out right!
Cheers for the comments guys!appreciated!
