Picture thread of the rebuild of an eBay purchase from earlier this summer...

Bike is a Haro X7, I never knew Haro had made bikes other than BMXs, anyway it was in pretty poor condition but worked ok and did what I wanted which was to smash Sherwood Forest to bits.

As it was when I bought it only having had a change of tyres since purchase.







Not sure what the previous owners had done to it but it looked to of been rubbed down, probably because it was nicked...




Right mess




Bottom bracket was shagged, clearly never maintained well.







So it was all stripped down at home...




One of the engineers at work had to smash the **** out of it to remove the swing arm axle which was melded to the bearings...




So measured up for new bearings and what not, the bloke at work turned me off a new axle from some HT stainless bar, also bought some 203mm travel Manitou Travis forks.




Another bloke at work blasted the frame for me after that in exchange for some Tangfastics.




A third bloke at work powder-coated it for me...













Nice outcome!
