Post by: Flatcap on November 03, 2008, 10:06 PM: I have to confess Damon to never being a fan of any of the bashguard style bikes. The WAL Riot's the only one but it had a removable guard so that was ok.

Post by: Ramp Rat on November 03, 2008, 10:21 PM: did Bob really design this one or was it after he sold off the company? Light years away from his Haro Sport - I guess it was functional.

Post by: DJ on November 09, 2008, 07:35 PM: Love these frames! O'Connell had a smoked chrome one with brand new Peregrine Super Pro's down at Southsea one weekend. He was such a snobby prick back then it gave me great joy to watch him feeble the castle "pond" wall, flip over bars & land in the drink, bike n all! :LolLolLolLol:

Remo had a beauty Team Model with the Zolatone paint job too, nice ride.

Post by: WizardWeb on November 11, 2008, 08:49 AM: Yep Bob designed it. Although he sold the company in 87, he was still a design consultant til 91. He said in an interview adding the bashguard was his idea as it applied to the tricks the guys were doing then.
