As it is my Wedding month, I will start.

Here is my entry for the month, my 1995 Hawk XXL. 

Now what is the chance of a mid-school bike winning the BOTM?

Right then guys, enough is enough. I had to let you see my 86 Haro, with GT Santa Ana forks. This bike has been lovingly restored to it's former glory. I would like to say it rides good but after my first outing, I completely f**ked my knee. 40 next year and you don't bounce like you used to. See the MK09 thread to see mt knee.
Anyway, here's picture of my lovely bike. This is the don of old skool freestyle

Here's a little bit of the spec:
86 Haro Master Frame, Original GT Santa Ana forks (Haro ones were always too heavy), Single pinch Redline flight cranks with Tioga power disc & suntour 44 tooth chain ring, Skyway Tuff II's, GT tyres, Odyssey calipers with tech 3 levers, Haro replica bars, DB mini stem, ODI mushroon II's, Odyssey gyro, Odyssey seat clamp, GT laid back post with a pretty BMX seat and I think that's about it.
Any comments are welcome

Righto, thought I'd pop this in for a punt! It's my first build - always wanted one when I was a kid but never had the money. I've gone for an "all original, as it came out of the shop" build which proved the hardest as some of the parts are a nightmare to find. The Elina Aero Turbo seat, OGK grips and 400 Flight cranks being good examples.

Final Spec as follows:

Kuwahara Laserlite Frame (restored, rechromed)
Kuwahara Laserbars (rechromed)
Kuwahara Laserpost
Elina Aero Turbo Seat
Suntour Arrow Seatpost
Tange TRX Forks (NOS)
Hatta MX2 Headset (NOS)
Suntour Powerstem
Suntour Headlock (NOS)
OGK Cobra Grips
Tech 3 Lever in Black (NOS)
Dia Compe MX1000 in Black with Self Centre Device
Dia Compe Brake Blocks (NOS)
Dia Compe Brake Cable (NOS)
Sugino 400 Flight Crank 180mm (show bike fitted only)
Sugino Sealed Bearing Bottom Bracket
Suntour XCII Pedals with NOS cages
Sugino 44t Chainring in black with machined teeth (NOS)
Sugino Chainring Bolts
Itzumi Chain Black/Silver (NOS)
Araya 7X 20 x 1.75 in chrome (show bike fitted only)
Suntour Sealed Bearing hubs in black (NOS)
Asahi Spokes in Chrome (NOS)
Black Spoke Nipples (NOS)
Suntour 16T Freewheel (NOS)
Comp III Rainbow Label in 1.75 and 2.25 combo (NOS)
Chain tensioner x 1 (NOS) to be fitted when it arrives!
Repro Decals by Del and CBRGil (Araya Decals)
Repro Padset by Firebird

Post by: mixjp on May 19, 2009, 12:35 PM

I must admit, the DP is awesome. I thought my Haro was nice. Gutted

I think we should do an injury of the year competition. I might have a good chance of winning something then.

I finally think I got this bike down & complete after a hiccup last month. It may not be BOTM but I absolutely love it now it's done.
It needed a few bits: a custom green Kuwahara padset from Firebird, some Ame'rica grips and polished pedals to round it off...
