Ive got a 1986 and it looks a bit older than that,i`d go with a 1987 for sure

They start the slanted cut through top tube from 84 onwards

We need to see pics of the rear drops are they drilled with 3 or 4 holes as most 84's are usually just flat plain with a GT logo embossed on them

but did change late that year

It could have been painted and re stickered up a few years on by an owner BITD

Betty on here re stickered his Gen1 as a Master a couple of years later after buying it

and the downtube decal was to big it overwrapped and the writing was too far round and the "Haro freestyler "logo was going underneath

hunterdubber · « **Reply #13 on:** March 14, 2011, 09:08 PM »

thanks for the comments lads most helpfull

It must be chrome underneath ,,right ,,or is it just bare steel (cro-moly )

because the thread going the other day , would suggest this to be a chrome Pro if stamped 4 at the rear drops

Unless things changed after the Nora bikes and the slant cut top tube was introduced

Rodgy1970 · « **Reply #20 on:** March 16, 2011, 09:47 AM »

0984 = sept 84

4 = pro

Looks like it has pre 84 forks which was common they just drilled them to accept brakes.
