New Dominquez Haro Sport ...

[BADDH]

No doubt you have all seen these frame sets now in Chrome with the Chrome bars to match.

What's your thoughts guys,  19.75" TT looks decent for taller riders..

 I have no freestyle bikes and didn't BITD... But ........  .. I might be tempted to roll down to Alan for a chat very soon...

I like it, but I loves a repop. 

[stu27]

That looks very nice

I was in hope you would put me off them Dan...  .

Got me thinking of a bloody colour scheme and shopping list now... Deep breath.and think... . You don't need another bike...breath out, just one more... Drat, mutely... 

[stu27]

Is it a euro bottom bracket?

No way, I think they look great, had an FST myself, and loved it.

[BADDH]

No mate US standard albeit reinforced ringed.

[Retrodan72]

How much would an 84 or 85 be in superb chrome?

[Gnarlyscoots]

They are selling for around £400 without the bars aren't they

[Retrodan72]

Yeah, Alan's are doing them for £399.

I know it's not 'blingy' but, you can buy this survivor '85 FST frame and fork for $175 (£115)

Postage to the UK is $75 (£48)

By the time you have a laid a new chrome job it, it will still work out a little less than this re-issue one and it's a genuine 1985 frame and fork 

Personally, I would keep it survivor, the parts would be cheaper to get too 

[Badbaldie]

Dazza you need one of these 

[stu27]

Just been on the alans site, im sorely tempted

Good consumer advice, as ever Terry, for anyone wanting to dip their toe in the Haro pond.

I'm over t'pond in a few weeks, might have a punt on that survivor, top tip Tezza!

[Badbaldie]

Dazza you could have this gift wrapped ... merry xmas to you .

Grab it quick before the American's wake up though buddy. It won't last long at that price 

[BADDH]

Yes I know...

A "Paul Barlow Haro build"... Happy memories from bitd ..

Tried to buy it Tez but the seller was a bit of a thicko.

Couldn't get his head round me buying it then posting it to my pal in San Diego for some reason.

Just remembered why I never visit that site!

[dancetothedrummersbeat]

I know what you mean Mat. communication can be VERY difficult sometimes, even though we're supposed to be speaking the same language! I've had a few good buys and dealt with some great people on the museum recently though. Any more thoughts on this Darren? - Personally I'd go for the original one, but I love a project and the dramas that go with it!!

[NORTY40]

It looks nice Darren but if was spending £400 on a frame and forks i think i would rather have an original 80's one .

A nice survivor one sold today on here for £375 , it was a White one though ...  http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,178326.0/topicseen.html

Having said that I love my Skyway TA24 but the chances of me getting the real thing from the 80's was slim to none 

It's your cash mate , spend it how you want 

[pickle]

They should've gone full new school with it, new geometry, 21" TT and internal headset.  Might've been tempted myself then

[stuntmaster]

yep as pickle says why 19.5 as still too short and you might as well ride a original as they were only 18 inch if your using it for a ride around as you wouldn`t use one of them for new skool as your be banging your knees .
pointless and another cash in on old skool bmx

[factory pilot]

To be fair it looks great in chrome .... Its personal choice and price ... If Alan is giving you a good price  then go for it but as others have said for £400 I'd rather get an original but you're unlikely to find one in chrome ....

Where you at now on this Dazza?
