I might have a few pics if I can find em. Me mate had a gen1haro with early 90s bits on - ie them gt 4bit bars, some 48s
Dave Young used to have fair few ta's in the early 90s- one of which snapped in two at Ayton(nasty that, he seen double for ages)
I gave my old cracked dp to my mate who have it welded up and put new 90s stuff on. My holmes had 80s green tuffs on for a while.

heres mine 1983 gen1 haro freestyler

these were taken in 2007 when it was owned by someone else

this is how i got it, the frame is now painted a weird sort of aerosol christmas decoration gold before i got it

Here are the specs : Haro Vector bars (copies) with hollow bolt, ODI longneck grips, Eclat lever, Chris King headset, Dia Compe MX1000`s front and rear with semi auto adjusters and self centering mechanisms, Skyway Graphites front and rear, Also comes with Oddessey Hazard Lite front wheel radially laced to fly hub. Shwalbe Mojo knobblies, Profile Race cranks with Profile titanium axle with flush bolts,and Profile Hop Up Bottom Bracket, Prolite Chainring with KMC Supalite Chain, Shimano DX Pedals, Profile slim jim seat clamp, Aluminium falluted seatpost with shadow Ultralight slim seat. Also comes with Haro Tech number plate, Full Haro pad set, and Haro Freestyler original USA chrome decals set, Also Haro Freestyler Master white decals set and Haro Flex Fighter

i'm going to get the frame rechromed at some point , it rides really really well

Nice that!

Nearly scored one of these myself a year or so back - but it had been sent to some auction before I could make an offer to some old dude who had no idea what he had, ha -ah well....

Fckn rad Vid Brother.

The early 90's were proper good times.

Will tru and find some pics from that era of the Nottm gang.

Cool video! Love seeing all these bikes, Lenny our talk at BR made me start this thread

want to get an 80's frame and just build it up with bits like that and just thrash it

You and me both, if I get a ta it's becoming a dirt bros. Q bars, peregrine 48's, maybe od wheels, and then I'm gonna ride it until it breaks

Can't make me mind up on colour - black, red or yellow? Got another set of these the other day for the MK1 Holmes, gonna slap the forks on the Holmes on that bad-boy I reckon.

That DB I got the other day has come up a peach as well - early MK2 with the old sandwich drops/brakebridge (although technically not transition old/mid):
