1984 Gen 1 Haro Sport Finished

[dancetothedrummersbeat]

Here is what info I have found .

Hi Carl , the sport you have bought is the 1st generation and probably the only Sport to ever where the signature Mike Dominguez on the chain stays as I believe these were only made by Torker over maybe a 4 month run as the 2nd gen was released with the tapered stays in Aug 84.
The 1st gen sport has non tapered tubing unlike any other 84 sport, same as the 1st Master .

Mike left Haro summer 84 to hutch, which meant any sport after this time had Bob Haro signature on the chain stays

1st gen- Torker/non taper
2nd gen.- Torker/ thin taper
3rd gen- tai made/ tapered with chevrons stamped in gusset

Great info, thanks Carl. Like i said, i know nothing about these but it's good to know the differences with them

To add to this the Gen 1 had the coaster tab BELOW the chainstay, same as Masters and also the Gen2 and 3 had a swage line at the bottom of the rear dropouts....

This is warming up nicely, although I would've preferred a nice opc instead of 3 piece

    Nowt like a bit of pressure for my first freestyle build

This is warming up nicely, although I would've preferred a nice opc instead of 3 piece

But that's the beauty of it . Only ever came as a F&F

Indeed, I just like the clean lines of an opc, we were all poor as kids and never had 3 pieces!!!

I'm with you 100% there J.

Interesting crank choice.  Whats the thoughts behind using such early cranks, was there a particular freestyler that did that or are you just "thinking different"?

 BITD , when I raced . Nothing was ever date correct .
Luckily I started on a GT pro , with OPC that I bent jumping off the garage .  Then to Suntour VX , even fooking worse ! I Must have rounded 5 sets of them. Jumping King Kong . 3'sisters
Mum got pissed off and bought me some flights . They followed me . From an 82 GT - 83 Robinosn pro to an 84 RSR . Never broke ! Not one problem .

So . I'm building this my way ! With whatever parts I think it deserves .
Just like I did BITD.

Another person with the right attitude... This hobby is meant to be fun!
Era correctness and spec builds have their place but sometimes it's about what you remember and what YOU want

Never owned a set of Anlun bars before . These are mint and a lovely shape . 

The parts are gathering . 

[Jaymz]

Love anlun bars. Shaping up nicely.

[Andyboy77]

Oooh nice, I was thinking of one of these for the Torker. 

[fischflo]

Love the anlun disc combo....... Would be cool if that wheel were navy though 

[In2bmx]

I have a job to measure in London on Wednesday 

So i'll be popping in to see the LEGEND SBD on Wednesday and picking this one up in Person 

Should be able to start adding the parts i have pretty soon, to see how its looking . 

[Glynnyboy]

Already enjoying this Carl . I got to admit Tony has got me looking at haro for the 1st time really so I'm looking forward to seeing what you get up to.
