So here's a few new parts.... A Pink Hot seat, this was like golddust and it was in unbelievable condition given it was used and not NOS.




Pedals are new Shimano PDMX - I did have to do some repop parts as I couldn't afford to sell my house to build this bike!



Wheels are new grey tuffs, they have panaracer style tyres. I like how the grey and pink is coming together....





Hope you enjoy this update. There will be many more to come...I have ordered a shit ton of parts, so just waiting for those and have a couple more left to open and get around to photographing.

Yes those hot seats are very rare in Pink. I have a survivor one but no way in the same condition as yours  :daumenhoch:

Thats going to look really cool, some pinks, esp the soft satin white ones are beautiful.

My whole bike is repro apart from a NOS crank and customised spider and it wasnt cheap, i could have bought an original Haro 84 Sport for far less money. But i wanted a new one, with no rust or cracked welds. I saw first hand what kids did to their bikes, smashed em to bits. If i could have found an 84 mint new in box frame i would have left it alone as the first thing id have done was rip the decals off. A repro Haro 82 Frame just sold for £800 on Ebay! Some people hate Repro, some love it. I definately couldnt have built my bike without it, so i love the stuff haha!

Look forward to seeing how your build goes, dont be afraid to experiment and do whatever you like with it, a BMX is a reflection of you the builder, its your bike do your own thing with it  :daumenhoch:

So - got the bike powdered...look what we found? Or did the shop do it? They said it was already like that... but I don't know - The ding is a quarter of the way down the down tube from the headset and on the underneath of the tube. It COULD have been covered by the decal and I just never saw it before... but it is a hard place to get a ding on a bike in any case!!!!

What do we reckon folks?
