want the original spec for an 83 haro freestyler so i can start to search for parts.
also does anyone know where to go for a re-chrome and how much to expect to pay??

cheers
dave

Chrome jobs range from approx £70 - £250 . It depends how much you personally value the bike & if you're going to ride it or not ?. For instance I would go high end on a possible show bike but around £100 - £150 on anything else , I personally would'nt go real cheap .

You get what you pay for

They only came as f/f bitd, unless a shop built one up, so you can put what parts you like on it

splits*lambrettas · « **Reply #4 on:** August 27, 2006, 07:46 AM »

whats the spec on the haro on the haro website?

harris · « **Reply #5 on:** August 27, 2006, 07:49 AM »

Do you mean this one

http://www.harofreestyler.com/bikes.html

If so good luck getting all those parts & hope you have got lots of cash

splits*lambrettas · « **Reply #7 on:** August 27, 2006, 04:30 PM »

yup

thats the one

Looks like Redline Flight 401 cranks & chainwheel. Graphite Skyway Tuffs, Haro Vector bars, Diacompe MX 1000 brakes, can't see if they are Tech 3 or 4 levers, Shotgun II Seat (?) and some kind of Rat Trap pedals. Got a spare grand lying around ? LOL

CD17 · « **Reply #9 on:** August 27, 2006, 09:37 PM »

Yeah I think they are Tech 3's & yep, your going to need big money for the rest of those parts, def for the Tuff's & Flight's.
But that would be a top build

splits*lambrettas · « **Reply #10 on:** August 27, 2006, 10:35 PM »

i have got the tuffs already came with the bike. but its running an odysey crank and haro knee saver bars
mx brakes. but all needs renewing

slowpoke24 · « **Reply #11 on:** August 27, 2006, 11:20 PM »

Also not forgeting the grips (grab on's) if memory serves me correct someone paid a £100 - £130 for a set not so long back.

Your gonna need patience and a good bank manager if you want top spec but it would be a special build.

Good luck with it,it will

once it's finished.

Were they Graphite Skyway Tuffs ?

You do don't need Graphite Tuffs to make a Gen1 look proper IMO

Like above but the other stuff you could sell or trade for sure.

Re: graphites - the more available alloy hubbed skyways probably a better/cheaper option and they still look great IMO.
