it all started in 06, with my haro nyquirst code 1.


3 months after starting, i broke my foot in 5 places.

changed stuff around abit, and sorted out my crank.

atilla hot bars
odyssey lever + cable
federal sprocket
united seat
mongoose wheel




eventually, it ended up like this by the end of 07.

eastern seat (my united is at my local park still going, just stripped)
odyssey JC pedals
db cranks
odyssey hazard wheel


A guy i knew quit riding, and asked me to sell his bike for him. The next week, my freind who bought it came back to me saying can you sell it in parts.
i ended up swapping this DB frame for a sunday OG one (:






which i then sprayed metallic blue and again updated my bike.




while at the same time building up the haro

odyssey bars
blank forks with my old parts



then, i guess i inspired Arron ross



problem is, i only got to ride that for a short while before i dislocated and broke my finger

so again, i split up everything and sold it on ebay and started building something i could be proud of
i got a manciel bibi on spiecal offer, and rolled with it. The bars where so small i changed them, even if they were downgrades. I also used some of the remaining parts from my freinds bike





it had some teething troubles (the profile died in the first week i got it) I DO NOT RECOMMEND 28-13




and it seemed to work fine, give or take the bars.

i built up the haro and atlast sold it, but got given it back when the guy couldnt pay. sprayed the parts to match.




And the bibi ended up like this





More recently:

got some snafu bars + forks (which looked bent from the angles?)







started foruming and made some money, and got my wheel at a really good price.



got a new set at trade price, although nothing was wrong with my forks. sold them locally, and run some stocky parts for a while before they snapped


my bike ended up like this, and im really loving it.



(insert bikecheck here)

got 2 completes cheap off mates, a macneil complete and a wtp reason. i still have both





(insert forsale thread here)


in the end i swapped the haro for a mountain bike. seems weird, but i like this one. its still in my shed waiting to be build up on a rainy day.
The haro got killed, and is now somewhere in ipswich. its a shame really, should have put it on my wall





what still remains from the start? i guess its my odyssey lever, its now turned 3 years old.
next would have to be my mirraco cranks, from the fluro yellow bike. If you check the threads closely enough it lives on but there just getting rusty in my shed.


So thats my rather long bikecheck. hope you enjoyed and feel free to comment. Much thanks (:
