Haro lol Freestyler 100% finished - new pics 10/08/11
« on: June 22, 2011, 03:19 PM »
Wanted one so badly as kid and parents couldnt afford one. Got back into bmx as an adult and still couldnt afford one

So got the best copy out there and built one anyway

I give you my fake

Haro freestyler - the ultimate budget build

No show ponies here of course, just hardcore riders, hour spent cleaning the parts tops, chrome shot on pretty much all of it, but hey who cares, I dont

Parts laid out, couple of bar choices, redlines and skyways, the skyway idea hasnt quite panned out like i'd hoped, but i have an idea, i'll out line that later



Finger tight build up to get a feel of what its going to look like




Spec so far

Haro freestyler frame copy
Forks by something itallian sounding company
Blue sealed bearing tuffs
Blue anno 1020 copies
win blue anno stem
redline bars
se 2 piece grips
tuff neck seat clamp used as locknut [did anyone else do this bitd??]
Mirage power disc
Suntour 44t
Bolts generously donated by Al  :daumenhoch:

Parts to still arrive
Blue tech lV levers [if spen wasnt so sexy I'd be starting a thread outing him as a bad seller and poster soon!!!!] :smitten:
Blue anno seatclamp [Jase you're slacking mate]
Green DC cables
pair of amber wall xposure daves 1.75
2 pairs of clear brake blocks
Decals donted by matt  :daumenhoch:

Back to the skyway bars, an idea has formulated to aquire another set of forks and colour them orange, then for a change of clothes I can have an orange front end for a change, as i love those bars and am determined to use them

And so far the build is on target for a finishing price of a smidge over £200, now that im pretty proud of

Will get some better phots when its finished and out at the skate park for a photoshoot

That would be the DC Tech 4 levers I finally posted yesterday buddy...... which of course you will get around to paying me for one day soon, or I can start a thread about you too ya smart-arse :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol:

Love this bike buddy - I've had one myself for a long time, ridden it off everything and fractured my skull in 6 places doing so :idiot2:

Get the decals sorted, slap a pair of the narrower Dave (I think) tyres on it and......



......get it ridden bud - nobody can tell when it's flying past them :shocked: >:D




Top bike for £200 mate, well done :daumenhoch:
Still limping......

Ha Ha. I await the thread!! :P Oh and cheques in the post loverboy ;)

By mid next week, she'll be ready for her first outing to the skate park,  top tube seems nice and short so the old 180's should come easily on her. Hoping the creation meet is still on as that would be a fantastic outing for it, and i could get the prowler on the ramps too

What you havnt mentied mate is that this is such a replica that it's even got the cut out under the gusset at the front that makes it a bang on a gen 1 replica and not gen 2 and has the coaster break mount as well
So how's about that then  :daumenhoch:

99% there and been out on a maiden voyage already to get the kids to school, which was great, but flawed by two things. 1. I'd forgotten to tighten the seatguts and 2. Didnt get to ride back as my daughter stole it and rode it home!!

Updates since last pics:

Pair of Xposure Daves now fitted
Locknut now added [and home made bodgit headnuts after some frustrating long steerer issues]
Green DC cable added to rear mated to temp tech 3 lever [craftily stolen of daughters bike]
Also just to keep this bitsa build on the mix up. I'm rocking some new school xposure clear pads with green centres, and got a set of orange centred ones for the front, these things stick to tuffs like fooking superglue, I mean hardcore stoppage. And on the first outing of heavy breaking to get them to bed in, there is zero marking to the tuffs. Very impressed and couldnt recommend highly enough for a rider, they come in orange, green, blue and yellow centres

jobs still to do
Fit the tech IV's when they arrive
Put on front caliper
add the decals

For a rider, i dont personally think there's any other choice, they are fantastically sticky and pretty heardwearing

Going to look out for an anno blue chainring as the suntour is sweet, but just needs something to break up the chrome a little more

Check my for sale thread again bud, there's a blue chainring in the mix somewhere.

Oh, the pads wouldn't have fitted a twin top tube btw bud, so no loss....

Bargain basement build says yours is way too nice for my dirty street rider and if i buy it I will just destroy it and thats another part gone forever. I hestitated ealier as i tore the NOS packaging off the DC cables, then i though fook it
