  1. 85 600c still acquirring parts.. need to get it powder coated next is an 85 haro sport then i'm on to my 24" purse signature
  2. who is your metal sales person, K? I looked pretty hard and couldn't find crap. http://secure.chassisshop.com/partlist/5408/3/ http://www.wicksaircraft.com/catalog/produ...0232/index.html try these guys
  3. started looking at it closer and it looks like it was white in the begining...kind of cool though because my 600c was white in the beginning and i plan on taking it back to it's original glory and yes i think it's a pretty cool find also...odd thing about it is he asked what i've been up to and i told him i started redoing old bmx bikes and he told me he is going to bring his old Haro in for me...i asked him if he wanted some cash and he would'nt take any...wonder if i should get ahold of my buddies from back in the day and save their bikes from their basements and sheds...
  4. yeah the chrome is actually pretty good..it's just dirty (the custom paint is what sucks)..he said it took him a half hour to pull it out of his shed...guess it's been sitting there a while...for now it sits in my storage spot in my basement until the 600c gets done..then i think i have to do my purse signature cruiser so i have something to ride comfortably this summer...then ima gonna get to this one....
  5. Thats a November 1985 Produced frame 85 - Year 11 - Month 6313 - production number. post a picture for a model ID its a rat but it was free ...looks like your typical i painted my own bike back in the eighties paint job...yeah i am going to have to strip it and re-coat but oh well thats what i enjoy doing the most anyhow...guessing it's a Haro sport??....anyone know what colors these came in??? i guess after i finish the redline ima gonna start on this one...man this stuff is addictive
  6. a guy at work gave me his old haro f/f neck and bars from back when he was a kid... anyone breakdown the serial number fer me.. 85116313
  7. i am selling vacation trips to the lost city of Atlantis in case someone is interested.. it'll be 10,000 per person all inclusive
  8. yeah i figured you might get a laugh about this...i about spit water all over my screen when i first saw it.. and holy crap 9999 for that JMC...it says buy it now..or make offer..suprized nobody offered him anything..nobody said it had to be close to what he's asking

  10. well what if you never come across anything in original condition and if you did you could'nt justify spending that kind of cash anyways..thats basically where i'm at.. bought a redline 600c that someone already zip stripped the paint off the front of and a diamondback with a cracked seatpost tube... gonna do what i can to paint the redline an original color and do what i can to find 80's parts for it...but the diamondback needs a seatpost tube and the chrome pretty much sucks so i am thinking about tacking a jig together for it chemical stripping the chrome and re welding the whole damn thing...might even stretch the front tubes an inch or so..but hey you never know.. i guess what i am getting at is now that i have the right tools and the ability i might just buy junk and resto-mod it...i know not to popular but if i do come across some original equipment in good shape i'll leave it as it is rest assured... this kind of reminds me of when i told an old man i would'nt buy his mint 30 ford coupe...it was a good price and it would have worked good for me but i know down the road i'd be chopping it up and i just could'nt bring myself to doing it...damn thing was all original and too nice...so basically now i am searching for a body to chop and i'm gonna find a 32 frame to box...anyways just my 2 cents
  11. man i had both of those serial numbers on bikes back in the day and they were both stolen...send them to me or i call the cops...lmao...could'nt pass it up
  12. tryin to post a couple pictures...but this is the way i got it..so a re-paint is necesary.. anyone have redline paint codes for this thing?...if they had them
  13. i think what i have is an 85 600c..at least from the research i have done serial number 85073648 on bottom bracket with the oval redline and full chromoly its chrome in the rear and coated in front.. were they painted in the front section or powder coated?.. what colors did they come with..when i got it the guys i bought it from started stripping the yellow from it.. do the forks have fork caps or not?..i dont have caps and looking through some pictures for referance i could'nt tell..looks like some did'nt use them.. one last thing..i am thinking about going flat black on the paint.. does changing from the original color sheme effect collectability at all?..
  14. last i heard vinegar was used to rust things..my wife uses it with water to rust craft metal...i'd research that... i use the works tub and tile...dollar tree sells it for a dollar.. buy a few bottles and fill the bath tub with water...3 or 4 bottles and enough water to submerge a frame and fork...worked for me...and yes it has Oxalic acid in it...but it also keeps the wife off ya because you'll be cleaning the tub too
