those have to be the wheels off your ripper! YOU CANNOT HAVE 2 PAIRS FFS!

Just got some Mirra forks myself so will be doing the conversion job over xmas... expect a call!

[Discostu]

Your right and your wrong ed. they are'nt the wheels off the ripper. And yes your right that I don't have 2 sets. I actually have 3 sets!!

[Biggeorge]

Thats amazing! You could make a few bob doing more of those chainrings! Nice one.

[Discostu]

Terry thanks for your pm telling me that 87 team masters were only done In yellow. I can tell you your 100% wrong! I had 2 team masters in other colours! The team master was only sold as a complete. Not frame and forks. But you could get the team decal! The frame and forks are no different on a team one compared to a standard one. It's only the team decal down the seat tube. The differences were on the parts that the complete consisted off. The 87 catalogue does have a team one that looks like yours. But they only sold them like that for a few months before bringing out the next version. This appeared in the 88 catalogue. Then halfway through 88 they bought out the last version which had the u brake mounts removed, now known as the 88.5. That was a ploy by Haro as the next master  (89 bashguard) couldn't have ad990 mounts fitted due to the chainline/ bottom bracket arrangement and they didn't want the change back from a u brake to the old style to be a looked upon as a change in the wrong direction.   As you can see the parts on a team master were much better than a standard one. But the bike was a lot more money.

1988 catalogue showing a team master. (which they had been selling for most of 1987!)



Anyway this is just a 92 retake on the later team 87. The 87 are a sweet ride until the seatpost area cracks. The Haro akilies heel! I'm waiting to see yours built up after that chrome job!  

I could waffle on about 80's haro's all day. As Robbo will tell you!!  

[lk_97]

Has anybody got pictures of a black/chrome 88 master? Just the frame will do as I need to know what colour black it needs to be and where the chrome starts at the rear end. Sorry for thread hi-jack btw
