I am currently in the lead in bidding for a chrome 84 Master on ebay. Price is currently $610 but is likely to go a lot higher. I'm not sure I can afford much more for the F&F only.It is now making the €900 complete 85 Green Master look like a bargain. I have one question about the 85 Master and its built-in platforms on the rear drop-outs. Are they going to cause lots of annoying bangs and bruises to your ankles? They seem to extend a good way along the chain stays and look like they are designed to inflict the most pain on your ankles when pedalling. Any 85 Master Pilots able to comment on this? Thanks.HF.
Thanks for all the advice so far. Here is the F&F I am bidding on:http://cgi.ebay.com/Absolulty-beautiful-1984-Haro-Master-Freestyler-Chrome_W0QQitemZ280589594058QQcategoryZ64644QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp5197.m7QQ_trkparmsZalgo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D4%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D5004178492946946134#ht_500wt_1156I contacted the seller and he gave the serial number as 8408****. Not sure why he didn't give the full serial. Does that tally with the register for Haro frames and is this a genuine Haro Master? It looks like the real deal but you guys here know this stuff like the back of your hands. Thanks for any information on this.Haro Fan.
Thanks for the feedback. Can I ask if the current price is good value for what's on offer? The postage will be $70 on top of the purchase price plus possibly whatever the customs charge will be (probably 21% of the price). What do you think? I am at my max (or a little above) for my budget on the F&F. Chances are, with four days to go, the price might go higher and it will probably be out of my reach then. I will see how things go. I might have to consider another make of F&F for a restoration project. For example, there is a GT Pro Performer on ebay at the moment and it's less than a tenner. I was never a big fan of the GT but it's a quality frame (as far as I know) and sits nicely in my price range! Am I correct in thinking that classic Haro Masters are pretty much at the top end of the old school BMX market, and all the other well-known brands from the 83 to 87 period generally are slightly less sought after and thus generally not as expensive? Thanks for your views on this.HF.
