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.

Yeah there's pinchless redline flights bottom bracket a bit fooked and a pair of peregrine super pro's that are stripped down and going for a re-chrome soon.

How much did it cost to get back?

sid1972 · « **Reply #7 on:** April 19, 2011, 10:13 PM »

what are them cranks worth?

got to be decent money....

Nigelb · « **Reply #8 on:** April 19, 2011, 10:19 PM »

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.

Man that is awesome Nigel - pump the tyres up, tighten the bolts and bring it to the Boardroom for a thrash before you restore it
