I sold this bike in the early 90's i was gutted after i sold it.Then just before christmas some bloke came up to me in the pub and asked if i use to own a bmx when i told him i did he said that i might have sold him a Haro sport and that he still had it in his shed and this is how i got it back.

The bike didn't cost me anything which is a good job as it is going to cost me a fooking fortune to put it right.

How much Haro forks go for on a Gen 3 1984 sport.
