has anyone got there gen 1 re-release?

[MartyC]

It's a replica of Sir Bob's bike from BITD and that's the setup he used to run

And a closer one you will never see 

[Rombloke]

oh fook it....

whats with the black back tyre?  Doesnt look right...

grrrr....i hate having to explain this...

[PHIPPSIO]

I can but wish one day I will have the genuine article...

However sh1t the re issue is it would be nice to see what someone with the right parts could do for it....



Ray.

Thats exactly what i will be doing. To clear up the reissue availability, theres around 100 coming into the uk through the haro distributor and it looks likely they will dock in November. I have an account and have got myself one at staff prices less some persuasion so im gonna break it up and build if as an experiment with better new school parts. Was gonna do some old school parts but frankly thats a bit too cliched me thinks 

[HARODAVE]

love it ....how much ?

[double chevron]

Great thread with loads of pictures and explanations 

Dom, that's probably the nicest thing to do on such a bike, it doesn't really belong to old school except for the stickers..

Haro Freestyler Bike (2009)                
It took Haro two years to get this bike out of the vault, but they say it felt like 30. Actually, it was 30. The year was 1978. The rider was Bob Haro. The sport didn’t have a name yet, but the man had a vision. That vision is locked in time by this bike. The Original Freestyler isn’t a retro bike in the purest sense—it features too many modern conveniences to suffer that fate. Instead, the Original Freestyler is a 21st century interpretation of the bike Bob used to get the ball rolling. Old school or old’s cool? You decide. We only know one thing for certain—this Haro Original Freestyler is rad.

# Frame: Throwback Haro Freestyle Design - Crmo Down Tube
# Forks: Crmo Steere - 1-1/8" Threadless Chrome Plated
# Cranks: Haro 3-pc 8-Spline Crmo 175mm Chrome Plated
# Sprocket: 44T
# Freewheel: ACS Mainline 16T
# Bars: Hi-Ten 8" Rise Chrome Plated
# Grips: Haro Mushroom Grips
# Hubs: Skyway Tuff Wheelset
# Rims: Skyway Tuff
# Tyres: Haro MS4 20x2.1
# Seat: Haro H-Crest Saddle
# Seatpost: Steel Post - Chrome Plated
# Pedals: Haro DX Alloy
# Rotor: Winzip Rotor Black
# Colours: Chrome

spec does look poo!!! would all want binning, especially the girly seat...

[QUADROPHENIA]

apart from the seat it done look to bad

[Gashead]

apart from the seat it done look to bad

You feeling ok ?

[lodge]

It actually looks better than I thought it would, but there's still something so wrong with it   

Bru 

Is it just me or does the headtube angle look really slack in comparison to the original?

[subversion]

21" TT's & a 72° Head angle by the looks of it

[harris]

i would push that thing in the nearest hole i could dig.
its crud imo and with all the worlds "available" input
to build probably the most iconic rep ever,they built that   ....haro you should pull your own pants down and sit on a hot frying pan.

[HEYWOOD BMX]

  That is truly horrible.An abomination.Ł399 for that?

[harris]

its embarrassing to old school haro.

[gary4130]

its even worse than the spec that was on the sport release 

[meticulous]

the only retro bike i feel right on is this pearl 07 quad...



it was my favourite bike bitd, it might not be everyones cup of tea, but its nice to ride a retro looking bike with a twist of modern technoligy, strong enough (i hope) to take my 16st frame, it would be sacrilidge to start bouncing around on this...



so my oliver, what do you think of the new freestyler?......



oh dear me!!!

[Rombloke]

from the mouths of babes....that is shocking...sorry to those thnat think it is ok, but its shite

Dave

[Bettyswallocks]

It looks pants imo... 

If the frame/forks are light enough (doubt it) i wouldnt mind seeing and trying one with decent new school parts

I wouldnt buy one...

Dave

get a grip of yourself, the photo was shot months ago, and this is olivers interpretation of looking cool, only he should have turned his hand round to make a 'V', hope everyone else got this...

[Rombloke]

Dave

[meticulous]
