First time posting in this section. I picked this bike up from the original owner. He posted it up as a StreetBeat. I went to look at it and it had Haro bars, group1 stem, and Haro forks with flip up pegs. Bike was really dusty and dirty. I didnt want to seem to interested in it, I asked the guy if he had the original Forks, he said he might be able to dig them out somewhere, I asked could you look now he said If I do find them I want 15 bucks more for them, I said ok no problem, he walked right over to a box and pulled them out. Actually he started to pull out a few parts, like the CW bars, the Tuff Neck, a Blue Dominator Seat, Cycle Pro Shotgun II seat, Blue Dia Compe Anno Brake's, Pedals, etc ... He said hey do you want this stufff???? I calmly said sure, if you dont need it. He named a price, and he said the only reason Im selling this today is because this will not sell in my garage sale tomorrow for that much. I TOOK it on the spot with all the parts and practically ran out the house!!!! Got home started taking it apart and washed and polished it up. Here's the before and after pics. It was on the bay and sold for 700 dollars but the guy who won the Auction was from the United Kingdom and I was going back and Forth with e-bay about it. I clearly stated US only. I dont mind anyway I like the bike and might keep it.
Sorry for the long Post.
Peace ~ Tone

That is sweeet...it is amazing how well you polished the forks, they went from looking like Haro forks to looking like a sweet pair TA forks...

Boy...if he can polish a set of Haro forks into Skyway TA forks...I'm sending him a set of Sugino 3 pc. cranks have them polished into some Aerospeeds.
