nice frame steve!!
that was the best year for the sport. before they gayed it up!

Steve P · « **Reply #11 on:** August 28, 2006, 10:10 PM »

Well, this is interesting stuff

I e-mailed harofreestyler.com earlier today to ask for advice with era and spec . . . Dan has literally just phoned me from the USA

He tells me this a very rare USA (Torker made) 1984 Haro Sport and one that Dan has no record of being produced or to remain in circulation. I have just been blown away by an offer to buy this frame alone and I am still in shock

I'm gonna have a strong Vodka now and try to make sense of this

It's here to stay mate

The value is of no interest to me. I bought it to restore and I've found the perfect winter project I've been looking for

Cheers Marty . . . Placed my bid and hopefully I can complete the frameset . . . thanks mate

Enough to buy a complete bike with decent spec. Apparently, this is the only Haro frame design that Dan doesn't have in his collection . . . he tells me it's got something to do with the serial number which may account for his generous offer

I have to keep this one Dave . . . sorry mate

Torker made? That explains the difference in the platform. The seat stays go further up the top tube as opposed to simply meeting the end. Excellent score !

greentoad · « **Reply #24 on:** August 29, 2006, 07:50 PM »

WoW....

That is a very lucky find!

According to my list, there is no other Haro Sport like that in the World (known to still exist).

It is Torker built in the US, like the Haro - Freestylers and Masters (Gen 1 and Gen 2) and also the Haro Sport Gen 1 (only 2 are known still to exist), so from the way the code is laid out I would ID this Frame as a -

August 1984, Haro Sport Gen 2, build number 459 (and pretty damn rare!)

As it is so rare, I would not even restore it until more is known (others may surface in time), and also so that you have the original decals, and also so that the frame number can still be seen.
