just copied this from another site

A little bird tells me that Haro are going to remake the Gen 1 frame and fork 'exactly' like the originals. Apparently it's being built by the guys that made them the first time round and the serial numbers will continue where they left off. There is only a very small limited number coming to the UK so these are going to be highly sought after I imagine.

No doubt going to be highly priced too, not a fan of these cash ins tbh. Good news for those that are though.

what they should have done first time around, instead of mucking about with hi-ten steel

waste of time... unless they're planning to sell them all to 5'3" fourteen year olds.....

now if they were to bring them up to today's standards and pop them out with a 20.5" TT........ and some half decent brake lugs

Or 5' 3" 39 year olds. It should be spot on for me!!

Is Bob actually involved in the project though? He sold the company a long time ago. Not sure who owns the Haro bikes brand nowadays? I'm sure someone will chime in with this info sooner or later...

cant see the point tbh $:-\$ .

mind i don't like haro's full stop

punkdSICO · « **Reply #17 on:** March 27, 2012, 11:47 AM »

Yes, it would be interesting to hear or read this from somewhere official. Has anything been officially announced or is it just rumour?

Personally, I dont mind things like this. Im not a purist so if someone offered me a modern day 100% copy for less money, I would tend to go for the copy.

btw, its no different to what Vincent Frames are doing and I dont recal anyone having anything other than praise for their efforts..

Good news..

Paul
