Haro Gen 1 .....NOW WITH PICS
« on: January 15, 2012, 04:39 PM »
I have just picked up a manky manky haro gen 1 frame and fork. I have pics on my phone only.

I know they were chrome but I dont like rechromed frames plus its expensive too.

So i have decided to get it powdered by Superbikedan.  Any ideas about what colour I should do?

I was thinking Candy Blue but would the decals clash?

Ideas would be great.

 :)

I agree, leave it rusty!

If that is out of the question do it white like a Master, that be the way to go I reckon, white Masters are awesome!

A full chrome, inclusive of frame, fork and bars is only approx £170 at Hockleys and they will do it how you want them to. Thats roughly the same as a powder job for all 3 items and chrome lasts a lot longer  :)

The frameset has been sprayed about 5 times although most of the paint is off. No decals remain.

The chrome is grey!!! It looks like someone has attempted to get the rust off of it with a brillo. It is impossible to even leave it as a survivor. I promise.

I like white but thought the candy blue might be a bit more different.

Hockley price is bloody good though.

I agree with doing something different, it's nice to see something which is different from the norm. Scorcher Mick just proved it by doing his Gen 1 in Black and it won BOTM. I reckon Candy blue would be nice or a Flat Grey with white parts would look wicked.

Whits will always look awsome, keep it classic or think outside the box  ::)  For me personally, Classic is always a winner.

Not sure on the re-weld. I check.

Was my friend's frame set and he would know.  :)

The blue is still eating away at me. :tickedoff:

Hell yeah, what you have there my friend even in that condition, is regarded by most old schoolers as THE HOLY GRAIL of bmx, personally I would get hockleys to re-chrome it & get some new decals, you are one very lucky guy! :daumenhoch:

i think "holy grail" is a bit strong as there are much rarer frame sets, but definetly sought after
