This is REALLY cool. Top job John

(Taken from Dig Magazine site)
Pilgrim’s John Buultjens has been obsessed with Haro for a long time now and for the past 15 years he has worked hard on seeking out this wild collection of Haro’s from 1982 up to 1993. This past weekend John managed to complete his collection and to celebrate he made this video taking us through the bikes and giving us a bit of background on some of his finds. This is pretty impressive!

he wont sell it ive been trying to buy it back for years.........it was one of them frames that was passed around to everyone in our group as they wasnt a bike to ride in the late 90s are they were quite old by then............

i got it off carlo in 92 i think, he had been to shinner and had come home with about 12 airmasters, it was left outside his house next to his vert ramp for about a month before i got it...hopefully one day i will be able to buy it back or my friend :wtf:will get round to restoring it back, i dont think he has got the forks for it anymore which ive been told are quite hard to get hold of but the frame and bashguard are all good.....

Hey Alex! Thanks to everyone for all the great comments on my Haro collection. The video was a bit of a rush. I have 10 mins to film and then we had to have all the bikes out of the bowl and outside for a photo shoot. I would have loved to have spoken about all my bikes, but you would have been bored. Every model I have as you would know took me years to complete. Sorry I didn't get individual shots of each bike, but classic BMX did. Anyway thanks again for all your kind thought's and complements on my wee haro collection. I have just joined the site, but I will have a profile and pics up soon. Cheers John
