Had fun building up my new Sport last night...decided to give it a retro flavour as per the pic in the 1988 Haro brochure:

I've added:

- Uni Directional Chainring
- Haro Spider
- White Odyssey Gyro Cables
- Dominator Seat
- Haro Kneesavers (I have the sticker for these, just got to have painted yet)
- Ame Grips
- GT Tyres (these are changing to Haro whitewalls when they arrive!)

Here's the original from the 88 catalogue:

Hope you like! The colour is awesome in the flesh...can't quite capture it with a flash...

Thanks chaps - I doubt I'll ever ride it, got a better bike for that...but this one just looks pretty...

Ruler - not sure how I can sort the cables out? They are original 88 gyro cables and only came in one length...any ideas?

About 450lbs - nice light ride.

It's slotted, and I imagine it's 19mm - I'll measure up later and let you know for sure.
