 ::) exactly ::)
we all probably think that any bike we look at could have been this and could have been that but i bought the 2009 haro and done the best i thought i could do with it and was over the moon with a lot of radsters comments they made to me,so big thanks to them
and broggie your right everybody can have their own opinion but there is no need for others to take it to a personal level :-\

Each to their own methinks,one mans shit is another mans sugar  :buck2:
If a newbie wants a cheaper version of a haro freestyler to raz around the park with his kids it's upto him.

Thanks for the advice guys i have gone and bought one lol as it`s only going to be used for light rideing when out with my young un`s so should be fine for the job  8)


Just order a few bits and bobs off ebay etc,, to mod it back to that old skool look so far i have got a dominator seat, ame grips,odyssey tan walls tyres and there will be more to come.

Anyone know the size of the seat post  and could recommended a good lay back seat post ??

Cheers Doo

Because you've had it away with all the proper ones and what was left was either a 09 retro or a puch maxi...



As for the layback stem...try billys bmx of cambrdge, they were doing some cheap laybacks 25.4...I bought two of them about a year or so ago...they have an online site too

Thats how i used to ride in the 80`s lol  ;)

Have not rode the bike yet and need to set it up but your right they do need to come back a bit as there almost hitting the seat when the bars are spun.

 :) Prob need a tophat washer for the spider to fit onto your cranks.Most OS spiders need a  23.8mm down to whatever diameter your spindle is.

as a rule (although it is personal preference) the bars should be inline with the rake of the forks  :daumenhoch:   OS bikes had a much slacker head tube angle to modern geometry so it was how we all had them BITD

I've been looking at a 2009 bike and also think they look pretty crap, but looking at yours with just a few old school bits has changed my mind, reckon that you are gonna turn that into a cool looking bike mate  :daumenhoch:

I'm sorry dude, there's no easy way of putting this and it's not intended to sound nasty but I think it's awful.

Each to their own mate and I totally respect your choice but I just don't dig em.

If your happy then cool.
