Photo History of a 1985 HARO MASTER. Can it be called a survivor ???
« on: July 11, 2008, 07:17 PM »
Bought back in 1985 as a frame & fork set and used the parts off my old mongoose.


A few months later I added green tuffs, GT seat post, Redline Forklifter bars and stem. I could'nt get hold of a black Dia-compe seat clamp so had to settle for a shitty Hutch donut...... If I could go back in time I'd give myself a good kickin  :idiot2:


Summer 1986....Scratched to hell. Inspired from a photo of  Tony Murray's bike , it got a respray, new decals, black tuffs and a white Redline 401 flight crank. (yes you could get them in white back then...  :wtf:)


1987.... I changed allegiance and went for a Skyway Streetbeat. The Haro then got painted in hammerite green, built up using surplus parts and a few inconspicuous decals fitted... ( This was my 'grunge' stage...  ::) )



Fast forward to 2003 and I restored it to it's former glory.... almost. I preferred the white version.  I just needed to buy a new seat, grips and tyres... I know it's not era correct as it should have had a chrome rear end with those stickers but hey ho..



And with it's modern day equivalent...

It's a lovely bike, but not a survivor as it's been restored.

I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
 Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
 Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
 Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'

Lovely lookin bike in it's new version.
That picture of you doin' the can can x-up is awesome - great air for '87!
Do you need forkstanders for the forks? I'm not sure , but I might have a set of the flip up versions from the next years model. Let me know and I'll have a llook next time I'm at my folks...
