1997 Haro Shredder Deluxe - gold metal flake.

I owned this bike in 1998 until 2000. Just tracked down the guy I sold it to and got it back off him... had to laugh as he said when he brought it I had put it in a shop window with a note on that said 'Need to sell to buy pram'!

Needs a good clean and a new freewheel but its in real good condition for a bike thats been in constant use. Gonna swap a few bits around and get riding it again after 10 years. There's only one on the museum and thats not got any decals :-) maybe 'cause all the other broke

4130 Haro Shredder Deluxe frame & forks
48 hole Araya 7x rims
Bars...? no idea
A-Headset (Dia-Compe)

Padded DK seat

Cool

I put this bike together back in 98 when a skateshop I hung around gave up selling bmx stuff and let me build some bits that were left into a bike - I had no idea - I just grabbed stuff that looked cool and wacked it on to be a rider.

Was a bit puzzled as to why the Haro tyres had gone...? Apparently the guy who had it lent it to a mate for a few years but his missus had caught him cheating and slashed the bike tyres

when she found out it wasn't her (ex) boyfriends bike she brought some new tyres for it

those are late 95 ramp room made love bars

ED209 · « **Reply #15 on:** July 05, 2011, 07:36 AM »

Just sold the bars for £85....

Didn't realise there were less than 40 sets made though

They went to a good home on here and I avoided 'theBay' so I'm happy

yep they are fine Jim

I was a bit concerned about them to start with but I've given the one on my Sport a good thrashin and its been fine. It slips a bit side to side if I try and chuck my 14st at a framewhip but I shouldn't have greased the fooker when I put it in

never had the bars move though

cheers lads

got it all stripped down and doing a clean and rebuild now - nothing major on the resto front - just a clean survivor

Got a Haro padded seat off of Norty40 and new tyres & grips - swapped the bars and thats your lot.

I know they aren't the best bike in the world but there isn't another complete with decals about that I can find
