Default 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.

If you did freestyle then I know for a fact you wouldn't have chosen a Ripper but instead would have chosen an SE Quadangle as it was a freestyle bike and about the same weight as the Haro Master

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.

Yeah I had a PK Ripper and they are light as hell. I traded mine off pretty quick though because the aluminum if used for general street riding had a tendency to break at the seat stem, and the down tube depending on how abusive you were to it.
