Title: HARO RIDER - RON WILTON
Post by: Steve P on June 22, 2008, 06:09 PM

I'm after some inspiration for yet another work in progress  ???

Does anyone have any pics of Ron Wilton's Gen 1 Freestyler ... I've got this one but it's a tad small and lacking detail

Any help is much appreciated  :daumenhoch:

I have never seen a white graphite before.

Its just a Gold Hub in a White Skyway
