Josh, Great Effort!!

I used to play and spray my bikes when I was 12 but they never looked as good as yours does!!  :4_17_5:

I'm sure if Del see's this thread, he'll do you some fancy decals  :daumenhoch:


WELL DONE MATE  :)

Well done, get it finished and get riding, heard you have had problems with pedals, just to let you know one side is a left hand thread and so tightens up the opposite way :daumenhoch:

i can't see pictures at work due to stupid surfcontrol but superb work on building up your own ride!  i think we all used to be able to strip our bikes and pretty much fix anything on them by 14 BITD.......Very refreshing to see a young'n doing the same thing! 

i'm sure your new Haro will last a whole lot longer than your old Ruption  :daumenhoch:

Top work fella!!!
