Haro Gen1 Freestyler Finished
« on: March 09, 2008, 03:51 PM »
I Finished this a couple of weeks ago but only managed to take some pics in the sun today.. By far one of the nicest (and most expensive) builds so far for me!

I got this on ebay last summer, the previous owner had it from new and decided to paint it pink and apply Master decals :knuppel2:


I stripped it down and sent it to the chrome platers along with a set of Vector Haro Bars and they came back looking like this:-


Whilst they were being plated I made up the decals and stuck them on:-



I tried not to build it like every other Gen1 but you just cant help yourself as they look so good with blue parts so here it is:-







Parts breakdown...

F&F - Haro Freestyler (serial TTT1033F)
Bars - Vector Haro Signature
Grips - A'me
Wheels - Skyway Tuff 2 Alloy Hub
Tyres - Panaracer Freestyle
Headset - Tange MX3
Brakes - Dia Compe MX1000, Dia Compe Green cables, Dia Compe Tech 4 levers
Seating - Kashimax MX/Chrome Straight post/Suntour Seatclamp
Drivetrain - Sugino 1pc/Shimano SX Pedals/Suntour Freewheel/Sugino Chainwheel

Thanks to those who helped with parts.. Jai (sebmxer), Gaz (poolysheriff), Chris (wish i kept...), John (JT Racing), Lee (bananaman), eBay!

sweet build Del. I know what you mean they do look good with blue parts. hard to pull off with any other colourway in my opinion.

Thanks for the comments fellas, I got it re-chromed at a place called Silchrome in Leeds.

No there are not the same forks.
