Unique junk bike rescued & restored

In this episode I meticulously rescue, repaint, rebuild, and restore a bike that was, otherwise, destined for the scrap heap. I got this '91 Haro Impulse Comp off from a local retiree who couldn't ride anymore and was just wanting to get rid of it. I recognized instantly the potential of this bike, with the beautiful lines, those 90s stylings, and that durable steel. While I wasn't interested in restoring it to it's original lime green, I did want to pay homage to 90s stylings with some candy apple green and purple accents. The cherry on top was having a viewer, Paul Y., graciously send me some 30 year-old gorgeous ODI attack grips that complimented the build nicely. Thanks again Paul!
