Mirra Bike Co.
My uncle Jim co-founded Haro Bikes with Bob Haro in like 1980...
A couple Months ago he rumored to my family that he was working on a deal with Dave Mirra, to start a new bike line with him.
Well, it became offical and they got there site up and everything is planned out, he just walked away from Haro and started Mirra Co Bikes. Trek is taking care of everything, and the first bike is to ship August 2006.

I rode 5 different Haro Team masters and wouldn't have traded them for anything. Considering my Dyno snapped in a month and my Haros lasted me years.
Trek making Mirra? Hmmm....not sure how thats gonna go over.

Strictly dirt jumping......
I rember us weighing the frames back then and the pk being about a pound lighter....
later that year traded the pk frame for a diamondback frame....
(diamondback was heavy but looked cool)
