1999 Haro Zippo (Master Retro)

I never owned a Haro Master but would pick one up in a second if the price were right. Haro Zippos are a little more readily available so I grabbed this when I saw it for sale and performed a retro restoration on it. The Zippos resemble older Masters in a lot of ways while also giving you a little more strength (and weight). I spotted a chrome Master on bmxmuseum.com with these same decals and it gave me the inspiration to build this Zippo up old-school style.



















1998 Dyno Zone

The first Dyno to pop up locally on Craigslist since I caught the BMX bug again and I had to have it. It hung for about six months before I finally got around to restoring it. The parts that came with it weren't that spectacular so many of them were replaced with brand new items from porkchopbmx.com. It actually turned out a lot cooler than I expected. It sold quickly so my eye is open for another chrome one.
