Sorry don't know anything about FMF.

 :welcome to  :radbmxsmilie:  :daumenhoch:

Love to see a picture of your old Haro in the attic, even if it's all dusty.

Yep welcome to the site mate.

My kids are both rolling around on Red line micro minis like your FMF - half the weight and half the hassle of a steel kids mountain bike with gears they'll never use so good move. Stick a set of new tyres, brake blocks and cables on it and give it a grease then get them on it  :daumenhoch:

I'm pretty sure it was JTsmooth on here who was flogging oldschool skinwall tyres - running 1-3/8" on the front and 1-1/8" on the rear to give them a nod to the oldschool but all new school tech and geometry :coolsmiley:
