Favourite BMX: Skyway TA
Favourite Old School BMX Brand: HARO
Well after years away from BMX's (used to ride a PR expert frame back in the 80's) for too many years I started to see lots of nice old school bikes at the VW shows up and down the country , I bagged this mid school Haro Cruiser on ebay and then preceed to strip and rebuild having it podwer coated in the colours of my choice.

Then the wife complained that she didn't have a bike so we couldn't all go out with the kids for a ride. I then found this old Haro F&F and built her this bike, theres a mix of old and new on it but overall I'm happy with the way it turned out ( a big thankyou yo youngy for the original california lite pad set )

Unfortunatley it's sparked a bit of an obsession, so now I'm on the look out for a SkyWay TA and possibly a Tim March Racing cruiser.. The wife would like a pink Hutch aswell.
