Yo peeps, havent been around for a while coz Im too dumb to figure out the whole re-register malarky but anyway.... as I'm sure you may have already heard the next Haro Retro re-issue is going to be the the Gen 1 Freestyler. I've had a good amount of input on the project & can tell you it WILL be full 4130 with twin top tube, full on chrome f&f, bars, cranks etc with new school mid size bb, internal headset & ad990 lugs etc.... The bike will be more available in the UK than the last too retro rides also. I'm certain it will come with chrome 36's on low flange suzue style hubs with gumwalls too. sweet. I know this bike will not be please everyone but I do believe it will be the best one yet. I'll keep this thread updated as I get more info.
There may also be a BIG old school anouncment that will involve this years NASS/LG event @ Birmingham NEC also, again as soon as I know I'll post it on here.
Thanks,
DJ

I like the next man like the idea of this, but wonder if it will make original haro freestylers less prestigious?
with the current situation of not too many bikes floating arround it seems make the bike seem special, but with many bike companies now cashing in on the retro reissues it seems to dilute the aura surrounding these and other oldschool bikes.

Nike keep retroing the old jordan shoes, to the point now where its become tacky, and certain eastern markets have been exploiting this by making knockoffs with the intent to sell at high prices claiming them to be the originals ..... could we seee this happening anytime soon with the current rise in bike part collecting and cost?

it`s already happened look at hutch stuff like stem`s and cranks

region11 · « **Reply #14 on:** May 06, 2006, 10:42 AM »

I want one too. How bout some sort of discount from Haro for team RAD

region11 · « **Reply #15 on:** May 06, 2006, 10:46 AM »

Surely as a retro it's a new skool bike with old Gen 1 stylin, not like its gonna be a reproduction of the original. So I would have thought Gen 1's are still gonna be well sought after.

Jazzchimp · « **Reply #16 on:** May 06, 2006, 10:57 AM »

Any pics yet?

Waxintaxin · « **Reply #17 on:** May 06, 2006, 11:21 AM »

Sweet.

i would imagine / hope that any gen 1 reissue would have flatland geometry.

i'd like an original gen 1, but a gen 1 style newschool frame . . . i dont know. cant really see the point.

the new sport looks alright though.

oberonspacefruit · « **Reply #22 on:** May 06, 2006, 08:17 PM »

you have to enforce the "why not" rule.

i just like the idea that companys are saying, "y'know, those old bikes were cool. lets build another!" of course they couldnt sell an exact copy, i dont think that mongoose re issue went down to well.

theRuler · « **Reply #23 on:** May 06, 2006, 08:40 PM »

i think its more like the companies are seeing the marketing potential of such a venture.
they should "reissue" all the sticker sets instead

i'd like an exact replica of a gen one but with AD lugs and 1 1/8" forks (with lugs)
if it's like that, then i will buy one.

the gen ones were a nice bike to ride.

Please mark me down for one.
