I asked the wife for one for Christmas & she told me to bugger off!

I think Brett's getting one.

Ruddy hell, nice but how much?

MartyC · « **Reply #4 on:** October 02, 2012, 11:25 AM »

I'm hoping to get one

Speak to Phippsio guys. I think he is the man to deal with

Come on lads, keep up. Dom's posted up loads on this as he was the PM on the job and he even posted up the website for us to watch when it went live to try and order one

Have a look in chat and you'll find this post:

I bottled out when I found out the price. My brother actually threatened me with GBH for pulling out of buying one as no doubt they will hit ebay and twice if not three times the value, but I don't have £700 plus import taxes to spnuk up the wall at the moment and i've just sold a load of my bikes to pay for stuff so could have easily argued the case with the boss

My Knight RetroGoose cost half that and you can actually ride it FFS. What are you gonna do with one of these puppies - hang it on the wall no doubt? That's a criminal waste IMHO $:-\$

I think Haro have given one to all of the original team riders. I thought that was a very nice touch.
I read that Lee Reynolds and Craig Campbell both got one.

MartyC · « **Reply #8 on:** October 02, 2012, 11:37 AM »

Spen, that's exactly what I intend to do with mine!!!

Spen69 · « **Reply #9 on:** October 02, 2012, 11:38 AM »

Alex, is Sir Bob getting one then? Bearing in mind he's all over the Ikonix f&f due out any minute now

Marty - ride it or hang it on the wall fella

Would rather get a carbon fibre frame that works for that price. Rip off gits.

Robbo · « **Reply #11 on:** October 02, 2012, 11:53 AM »

It is nice but my first thought is that if you turned up on one of these people would think its a 09 Freestyler at first glance?

Gnarlyscoots · « **Reply #12 on:** October 02, 2012, 11:53 AM »

I know he has Spen. Just highlighting the fact it's due for release this week. If I can get one for £700, then I will definately have one and, ride it I will

I would love to build it with NOS parts too

I would even consider selling my Torker for the parts to go it $:-\$ Er..Okay. I wouldn't

Nice one Dom, thanks bro. Where can I get my hands on one these framesets

pickle · « **Reply #16 on:** October 02, 2012, 01:52 PM »

they look cool and top work Dom

Robbo, they look nothing like those horrible 09 things!

can't imagine buying one though, crap to ride and a lot of dosh to spend on a dust collector

Both if I can

Seems like theres enough activity to whet peoples appetite but STILL no sign of the mysterious ""mailing list"".....

I want one of these, do have the cash and am rapidly giving up hope.

DoubleD · « **Reply #19 on:** October 02, 2012, 03:00 PM »

not a stupid question at all. and yes you can usually. 700 quid +. postage, then you have import duty plus vat(btw) on the lot at 20%
if you're not into haro then it will never make sense, but then its not meant for you so i wouldnt worry about it.
a lot of money for a repop, but a collectors item for the haro lover.
its where this hobby is at right now.

Gnarlyscoots · « **Reply #21 on:** October 02, 2012, 03:40 PM »

As J.T says Dan, it's all about Haro and being a big fan of Haro and what it done for BMX in general. You can probably pick up a frameset for the same price yes.

Look at this way though. This is alledgedly made to the same specification as the old ones. It has never been ridden, it's not weathered and not fatigued. It's mint, in the box and never had a part fitted to it.

For me, if it is built to the exact spec, I would want one of these. The chances of picking up a low serial'd genuine one is like Devilock actually putting one of his bikes in BOTM

, not going to happen. So to me, this a better option.
