Haro Gen 1 re-issue

[ronnie360]

looking at the pics of this frame i might have to jump in and get one they look good

so what sort of price are these f/f likely to go for 

Looks like its going to be a complete bike only.

looks like they will sell well

Here's an idea for a custom version. In lieu of vector bars how about KHE swiss miss bars?

[splits*lambrettas]

put a deposit on one today

the uy reckons about £499 though

[Obbie]

There's one thing wrong with that reissue , the flat plate on the top of the seat post tube to twin top tubes .
Remember They all used to crack on the weld round the seat post tube because of the flex caused by the weight put on the bottom bracket pulling the seat post tube through the plate .
Unlike the 1991 master and up used an ovel tube type plate with welds top and bottom of the seat post tube , defo was a stronger design ! Don't ya all think ?
Haro must know this as they did it with the sport re-issue and i can't under stand why they have gone back to that design .
Hope that someone at haro has put this into consideration as many frame's could fail .
Also think it would look better and be stronger with a rap a round head tube gusset .
Also what are the dimmensions of the frame ? TT etc ?
Anyway look forward to it coming out , would like one myself  ....

Did you leave your deposit with uy ? What is uy ?

I need one of these bikes badly... I don't think I can wait any longer...

I found a pic of the swiss miss bars in a KHE advert featured in a copy of Ride USA from a couple of months ago.
The trawled the net for a similar copy.

Must admit when I looked for a pic on the KHE websie I couldn' find it. So I've no idea if they're still on sale, but I have seen them in Ride UK a few months ago..

[Stodgy]

£499 in the UK is mental and if Haro think they can price that high when they are $395 in the States, they must think we're stupid.

[splits*lambrettas]

thats what the guy at coopers said when i rang.

"up to £499"

so i am stupid really because i still put a deposit on.

he said hopefully due before xmas though

[Zippy]

If you see it before the end of Feb I'd be amazed.

[splits*lambrettas]

fingers crossed

gives me time to find the other £425

 

[region11]

Are they gonna do a frame and forks set as well? Or will it be just a complete bike?   Anyone know?

well i was told £250 rrp , and they wont be here untill newyear , and only 200 in first batch , i really cant see it being £499 unless its speced out of this world , i will try and get specs tuesday when back at work  and there wont be any frame sets

The highest spec Haro's (Nyquist Pro & Forum Pro) are not even £400 so this bike wont be £499.
I imagine what Keith at Coopers was doing was just overdoing it just incase as there is no official UK price yet.

I also adressed the issue of the top plate & the design guys insist that having it all done on the CAD thingy etc it will be strong enough.
Lugs are to stay on chainstays at the moment.
Gusset will be reduced in size & welded similar to original.
Dropout holes will be switched.

DJ, it sounds better all the time 

Any chance of some more pics once the design issues have been resolved?

[DJ]

as soon as I get them.....

[othomas2]

Are the dropouts going to happily accomodate 10mm axles ?

Or are they going to for 14mm ?

[jT Racing]

this is interesting to read. looking forward to seeing it.

well, their 14mm cutouts so you can run 3/8s with a washer or some adapter bolts

[othomas2]

Cheers mate... 

I was wondering, is there gonna be a fight on to get hold of one of these or will they stick around on the like of alans for a little while just like the re-issue kuwi did. Can I relax until they are issued officially ? I need this bike !!! ... & I already have the money put aside.

Anyone care to comment ?

[DJ]

as far im aware there isnt just a limited number being produced & the UK distro (moore large) have ordered 200 to start with so should be all good in getting hold of one?
no official price but coopers are taking deposits...

[DJ]

20.5 top tube.... 14.25 rear end (oh er!)
of course, not everyone will be happy about that but, this is one thing that wont be being changed, there's some things I can do but changing the geo isnt one of them.
This geo is pretty much identical to the Nyquist bikes haro produce.
