Just picked this up from a mate who has owned it from new , he said he rode twice then hung it in tbe rafters of his garage where its been since..

Haro tyres are like new , various fusion parts , DC bulldogs and levers etc...

Am going to retro build it as a Master or Freestyler or something

Wireds on the museum is quite tidy , Gavins white build on here is too

First off, strip and polish to see hownut comes up ..

Awesome! I love these little zippos... Cheap, cheerful and look ace when theyre done!

I let my white build go a couple of months ago to fund a 91 Sport.....really enjoyed building it!

Cant wait to see the finished piece!

Bare in mind I'm no Haro expert

Someone with a bit more Haro pedigree will no doubt pipe in with the exact year

Theres a 96 on the museum which looks the same , chap I got it off says he deffo got it in the 90's just couldn't recall when....

Just my opinion, but that'd look nice cleaned up and as a survivor

Are these Zippo's lighter or heavier than a master $:-\$

fischflo · « **Reply #9 on:** July 20, 2013, 04:29 PM »

think Masters are chromo ..? http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,125307.msg1204268.html#msg1204268

while there is also f.ex a '98 on the museum that's like yours (decals...), and also the Haro serial thread there http://bmxmuseum.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=206889 gives no clear info (even tho there's a bloke there stating: "i just got a haro frame twin top tube from the junk yard is it a zippo or master serial is ho-k6a1965").... i'd still say '96

... because there is a 6 in the #

....get buckwild

Polish and a few swaps , gyro was knacked so may remove it completely, good for the beer run

GavinDavis · « **Reply #14 on:** July 20, 2013, 08:20 PM »

It doesnt look as though your gyro is knackered Wez.....to me it looks as though the top black plate under the locking nut is upside down

Ahhh thanks Ill check that , but it's the cable from the lever that's give up

I got an sst gyro cable that is like 1mm too short but might just fit if I turn the cup over

I'd be 'boiling water'ing those decals off if it was me

91 Master decals would look great
