Haro Freestyler
« on: September 19, 2011, 12:05 PM »
Right so i wanted one of these new skool freestylers as i wanted to see one in the flesh and see what could be done to it to make a new skool old skool retro ride

so i have dragged a few pics of the net of how they came from the factory and the others are of the progress i have made in converting it across

now its a long way off the finished product but im likeing it so far and this is just a taster to see what people think of it
im sure to a lot of you this will be a pile of you know what but given some attention you can teach a new dog some old tricks

Like it Joe, but get some Kool Kaps for the Tuffs mate and lower that post :2funny:

I'd have to loose the gyro too, but that's personal taste :-\
Still limping......

after all these years....


i still dont know how you can call that fooking thing a "haro freestyler"

its an insult to the original,

mild steel frame?

its a fooking joke.

"haro" knew full well that there are complete mugs out there that will buy anything with a few old stickers on it,,

and there are.

why do people leave neg comments when they for 1 have probably never seen 1 in the flesh and 2 never rode 1  :-\
I personally think they ride really nice and albeit yes might be a steel frame but they are not that heavy
also either strip the post and polish to get it in or as it's fluted strip the outside ridges and polish and leave the candy blue on the inside like i did on the retro ripper below  :daumenhoch:

I think on The Museum, there is sticky about changing the 1 1/8 stem set into a 1"  :daumenhoch: That would defo be one way to go IMO but looking sweet though  :daumenhoch:

Change out the bars to original Master bars, change out the front brake to a Nippon and should almost be there  :coolsmiley:

Keep it going bro  :daumenhoch:
