never liked haros BITD but bought a sport cheap just to get back into riding, then got excited about streatbeats and bought and built one identicallly set up to the haro, the result being that the skyway felt foooookin awful to ride it just felt clumsy yet it felt positive at the same time but the haro feels wild it lets you do more and makes you think "I can" where as the streatbeat makes you think "should I?". i got rid of the beat as soon as i could coz to me it was poo.

verdict from personal experience then:

Haro's for rippin it up while bein retro cool (great alrounder)

Streetbeats for the more sensible funky rider (not to hot on dirt)

but i am as mad as a box of frogs, so who cares? personal pref at end of day, can you live with it?

Thank you, i don't mind the post (it came with the f+f) but i have thought about changing it for a Renthal or GT layback (i need a layback as i'm 6'2") It's getting new white or blue brakes and new green Haro tyres, then i'm free to ride!!!

theRuler · « **Reply #30 on:** January 17, 2006, 01:25 PM »

i think alans do nice blue renthal laybacks

Yes a blue one would look sweet! as for bones?? well no, not yet due to a few reasons........
1. it's not quite ready yet
2. I live in Hatfield which is a bit of a drive to Bones
3. even BITD i was Rubbish!!! so would be a complete pile of poo!

But will get to a meet soon though with her..........it'd be good to ride her for what she was intended.

3 - 1 to Haro at the moment.

Thanks for the input guys. Has been very helpful !!!

Is the 85 Haro generally the most desirable then ? I'm quite keen on the older later looking haros which I presume would be a bit easier to get hold of...?

This one by fresh for example...

Sadly this isn't my haro, I found it in the museum but really liked it aesthetically. Member is 'fresh' something.

I do own a burner though, but now after a freestyle bike.
