Title: KHE Dirty Buster info???
Post by: southend_styler on May 26, 2009, 09:49 PM
Don't know if it would really class as mid, so excuse me if it doesn't  :-[


My girlfriend has a KHE Dirty Buster that she wants to shift so she can buy an old school BMX.

Problem is i have no clue where to start, i'm just after a bit of background info on it. Was it half decent when it was released?

And the main query i have is what sort of price should she be looking for?

I don't think it's all original as it's got this horendous glittery haro seat on it.  :LolLolLolLol:

I'll try and get some pics soon, but thought i'd ask in advance.

After a quick bit of research, apparently it was released as a homage to German porn star Dolly Buster!!!  :coolsmiley:

Don't know anything about it mate. Going on what my girlfriend says, she got it second hand about 6 years ago.

After a bit of research i reckon it could be '00/'01???

I take it you know what seat that is then??

Post by: JT71 on May 28, 2009, 06:07 AM
the seat looks like a Haro Dave Mirra one, just lke the wrecked one on my DK, wouldn't mind it incase I decide to resto it with the same parts it has on now rather than what it would have had on it from new.

Rayleigh used a version, but it's even more hideous as the headtube is only fat at the top. minging.

had it been the regular headtube version i'd have been well up for it.

KHE also had the only fat at the top system diatech sh*te & only went back to a normal headtube a few years ago  :shocked:
I remember seeing a normal 1 1/8 dirty buster in my local bike shop when they first came out, wasn't too bad looking for the money, the back end was like a late sabbath, not like that one with the coke can headtube.

F-set, that's it!!! With a big hole in the side of the headtube to do up the brake cable  ???
