Author Topic: 1984 Mike Dominguez Oldest Haro Gen 1 Sport now Finished (Read 170834 times)

Ady · « **on:** April 22, 2016, 06:22 PM »

To keep the ball rolling on this great forum as Deeman amazing build..
I have haro gen 1 sport the oldest to date on the haro registry.
I got this from Raddad on here (great knowledgable guy) late last year.
I have been doing lots of research getting the correct parts for this very early sport and finally ready to share the progress of this build.(many thanks too stubill )
I have always wanted one when watching the Kellogg`s series BMX in `84..
Rushing home from school to watch or programming the old ferguson video star vhs to record if out..

/>Or..

/>I have lost count the times I have watch this and paused it to get ideas.(cheers Danny)
I have now got most of the bits for now to complete this build but the haro vectors I have need a refurb and planning on doing this weekend.
Here are a few pics of the frame as I had it off Jim...
It has a few marks on the drop outs which I like to be honest.
I like the patina and imagine Mike D rode it over tightening the wheels after a session at the Kellogg`s event ...
Well here is a few pics of the frame before paint .
And what it will look like when done ..
All the best..

Wow...thanks for the kind words Ady and Ant!

This is going to be a cracker too...I love a rider rep! no front brake keeps the costs down a bit!!

Look forward to following this one

Made a start on the vectors today.
They was pitted with rust and very poor and missing the stem bolt .
Bit of the old elbow grease again with great results..
Did this on a set of forks..
Chrome kit doesn't work so don't bother

Little update..
Finished the chainwheel today with some NOS bits to attach, inc the task force hollow design 1pc crank..
Black nos Tioga chainring bolts with nos tuf/pro neck 44t..

Had a issue with the Shimano DX refurb..
Doing the last coat of paint a bleeding fly landed and got caught up in the spray so got to rub it down and do them again..

Before..

Bit of advice..
Got a set of these graphite tuff`s dated 1984..
But

the Top riders had the silver graphite hubs not the gold..
I am in two minds what to do as it would be sacrilege personally to remove the gold..

What a fantastic piece of bmx history to own . Looks very nice there.
Good work on the bars they look stunning . All time favorite bars
there

Ady, it's only my opinion, but you have to keep those Tuffs as they are mate, they're awesome.

Keep it coming... This is very cool fella!

Banachek · « **Reply #14 on:** April 30, 2016, 09:39 AM »

Awesome project. I'd keep the Graphite's, your other alternative is to run a normal set of ally Tuffs, which IMO would water down the wow factor.
Can't wait to see more progress. Keep up the great work.

Many thanks for your nice replies and help guys...

Going to leave the Campagnolo hubs as it is...
Just cannot do it and the missus who never gets involved with my kids bikes she calls it

said looks better looking in gold..
And as Banachek said.. going with the graphites on this build as it fully deserve the wow factor with its history and could agree more with what radovr quoted and going big time on this iconic sport..

Ady · « **Reply #17 on:** April 30, 2016, 08:36 PM »

Little update..
Stripped and polished all the little bits and re-assembled greased as to when the frame lands..
Managed to get a set of correct dated dia comp cables which landed last week..
Cheers guys..

Does anyone know what the date is of this seat ??

Ady · « **Reply #18 on:** May 01, 2016, 01:44 PM »

Bit gutted today..
Fitting the flywheel too the hub and found a bit of play on the rivets

I don`t know if anyone would know who could repair this problem..
I bought these ages ago for this build as well..(bloody ebay)
I have got a spare rear which I bought earlier this year in the hope a front graphite might pop up so will swap for now and luckily its dated the same..
Well the tyres landed from Aus with no fees..

and the faulty hub..

Taipan · « **Reply #19 on:** May 01, 2016, 05:32 PM »

Ady,someone on here had a tool for re-riveting the alloy hubs so they looked like they did bitd cant remember who it was but possibly Sawzal or maybe clint old school I'm sure someone will know tho

Hi C...
thanks for that mate..

I will drop Sawzal and clint a message..

Ady · « **Reply #21 on:** May 04, 2016, 05:05 PM »

Frame back from the spray shop..
Well happy with the work .
Would have used SBD but..
I just don`t trust the postal service as they have lost in the past two frames inc a Haro 89 bash guard with parts..
I would be gutted this ultra rare frame just one of seven left now to be lost...

anyway..
A few pics to whet your appetite...
