Thanks for that great pic mate.. fistblump
I am planning on doing mine slightly different to the ones I have seen including the above great pic.
The first pic in this thread is what I am planning on doing.
The haro B plate is black and the decals are different too.
I think it looks better with the black and the plate more balanced with the decals..
Plus the decals on the seat post and top two tubes are different also .
I have only seen this pic and believe me I have searched many MaNy :teef: times for a closer pic and this was the best I could find to zoom in..
I don`t know where this was taken or what mag it was from..
If you find more pics that would be a great help.. :daumenhoch:
Many thanks for the dating the seat bud.. fistblump
Just waiting on decals from the main man Mr D... :daumenhoch: so watch this space..

Haro/freestyle are not really my thing but this build thread has caught my eye.

Loving the wheel set (want) and the kinda mismash crank setup really works well together.

Looking forward to the next installment  :coolsmiley:

I have a blue Kashimax aero i'm not using if you want me to check the date  ;)
If there's air in the tyres... it's a rider

The wheels is what the top boys used but with silver hubs.
Again the crank is the hollow type which D used ..
Interested in the seat mate as the one I have is is in great condition but slightly scratched in one place which I could repair to be honest ..
What is the date condition bud .. :daumenhoch:

Good thread, what kind of tyres did you get?
The blue looks too pale compared to the originals IMHO

Hi mate..
I have looked high and low for a set of the correct era tioga comp 111`s in "blue  ::)" with yellow labels size 2.125 .
I would love to have a set but for now had to make do with Old School BMX Comp 3 Blue 20 x 2.125 tyre by kenda.
They have used the original moulds to remake the same pattern.
Got them from Australia.
There was a single one which I missed..

Little update..
Fitted the decals and NOS haro one and well happy. (cheers Del.. :daumenhoch:)
Was going to use the black vans decals as unsure what the colour was in the original pic
I think it is blue to be honest and my missus who doesn't normally get involved  ::) said it looks blue so I gone for that .. fistblump explosion

I think you are correct D.. fistblump

I did check with Del originally and was told they where normally blue vans decals ..
(he is wearing black and white chequered vans in the pic)
But ordered both colours just in case..
So going to change them now plus just ordered a black skyway decal as well to replace the blue.

Little update again..
Just picked up my DX pedals from my local powder coater and well happy.
Had two sets done including a set of Shimano mx.
Planning on swapping the DX 9/16 spindles to 1/2 from the Mx set..
I did have a go at spray them originally but just wasn't happy with the finish plus it was only £15 notes to get both sets done..:slayer:

Think the missus got it spot on to use the blue decals Ady, think the black would look good, but i have loads of pics with various plate set ups on this bike, including one pic of him running a front brake in a mall, maybe australia, but definetly blue vans decals and Mike had a tendancy to cut and mess around with decals, not sure if they did black skyway decals back then, but possible as there was loads of copy stickers produced back in the day, but my guess is blue.
Picture below shows black 1B plate with yet another decal layout, took at a skatepark in the UK, 84

Oh, if you want 1/2 DX spindles, would trade for your 9/16 if interested

Yeah deeman, I see what saying, they do look black, but I think it's just the photo, if you look at the front comp3 which is blue , that also looks black aswell, just my thoughts👍, I'd still reckon they would be blue
