Hi guys I'm a mid school guy to the bone But I've wanted a 80's haro for a while and as it was my birthday yesterday ithought it was time to build 1 so I've bought a gen 2 torker made 84 master and its a August build so I got my birth year and month! Couldn't be happier!
Any way I need some help on some parts as I want this to be a top spec build! Anyone know off some vector bars and some redline cranks they need to be mint and not restored as the f/f are og chrome and decals so they need to match, I'm not even sure wHat cranks I should use maybe 400's or full wrap single pinch? And if not vectors what other stem bar combo is ok? Tuff/pro neck? Bars? Help me out I have not a clue about 80's stuff at all!

they look great with sugino ct's
after that I would go early 401's
the 85 completes came with 400's so its nice to have it different to these
the gen 2 was only available as a f&f so you could put whatever you like on tbh

What's happened Olly? A gen 2 is gonna look a bit weird with a bashguard on it

Why were you dressed as a sailor for MK? did Kev tell you it was fancy dress and you believed him

AKGOFF · « **Reply #8 on:** August 24, 2013, 08:50 AM »

I've not changed ed I'm still mid to the bone but just fancy somthing 80's! And I was dressed like a sailor hoping I would turn you on!

Sugino CT's came stock the 84's, I'd go with those or 401's.
Defo DC 1000's.
If your going down the Vector bar route just watch out for the lookalikes.
Good luck bro

Once he has built it and stands back to look what his empty wallet has bought him he will soon return to the fold Ed.

You're right Ed - I wondered why I'd never heard of the S&M Ball Gag. Thought it was a little known bottom bracket to go with Prince Alberts.

I didn't think 84's came complete? And this is a keeper lads!
