Welcome aboard mate. If you give us the year you pimped the bike we could probably help more I'd guess If your grips were Mushrooms then they were made by Odi but white will be tricky to find as they fell apart after about 6 months of abuse.Your brake cables will be Haro Thunderbolts but you have more chance of being blown by Kylie than finding a rear one - buy three fronts and join 2 together.Bear trap pedals eh? Do you still have the scars on your shins? I'd go for a period platform pedal like Shimano DX or SX.Your chrome crank was probably a one piece from Takagi or Sugino which means you need 1/2" threaded pedals not 9/16" for a three piece cranks et. Saddle was either a Kasimax Aero (they have recently been re - popped so don't get ripped off) or a Viscount Aero.Skyways are still being made - if you plan on riding it, buy modern ones with sealed bearings and put Kool Kaps on the plastic hubs to make them look old school - the originals are all fooked now from years of abuse and over- tightening. Oh, and take out a new mortgage if you want all this stuff mint as you're in for well over a grand all in easy if you want the vdc bars as wellCheersSpen
Welcome to Rad buddy Re-popped means re-issue. What Spen is trying to say is, a mint/NOS (new old stock) Kashimax Aero will set you back around £120 depending on colour. A re-issue Kashimax Aero will cost you about £50. They can be made to look like originals to the untrained eye, so research is key.You can still pick up old school Tuff's fairly reasonably and worth it. They use cheap bearings in the new ones so their longevity isn't great. By the time you have shelled out for new Tuff's and Kool caps, it works out about £20 less than originals, although saying that, finding white old school Tuff's that haven't been bleached to an inch of existence and the nylon around the hub area not all cracked and ready to break up, is going to be nigh on impossible. White Tuff's are also the most desirable and sought after for everybody's Haro build. They also re-issued the alloy Tuff's back in 2011 when they found 120 sets of old hubs in the warehouse. They have a little date clock moulded onto one of the spokes, retro hand written on the inside of the rim, and graphite stamped on the rear hub instead of Skyway. While the clock can be sanded down and the retro removed, the graphite stamp will be a lot lot harder, so you will know if someone offers you a set as NOS white Skyways
