what we think about this - £400 for what looks like a nice bike, but with only a Cromo Down Tube...

what I find most disturbing is the lack of valve stems to pump up the tyres - must have those puncture free rubber jobs...
 :LolLolLolLol:

V. Noah - I haven't bought one - overpriced I reckon, I don't think it's too bad but a retro saddle would have been better & about a £100 less. If Raleigh can do a Tuff Burner for £250 then so can Haro.

When I saw the 06 Sport I had to have one. They were a reasonable price too.

Maybe if you changed a few parts it would look better.

Skin wall tyres for a start. Black tyres on black tuff are a no no IMO.

SE have done a far better job with their re-issues.

I have bought retro se's (nice to ride) and 06 haro sports (better for cruising as they are just too damn heavy).  Now I look at this thing...

At first I thought, looks ok, why not...but then as I got more into BMX and its roots, I looked again.  The second time I thought...this is wrong.  'Too many modern conveniences' they say...what's modern about a half ton steel frame...for that price its got to be 4130, full, not part.
No coaster brake bracket...Ok so the tailwhip brigade might not need it, but since most of the kids today haven't a clue who Bob Haro is....they'll look at it and say Bob who? before moving on and buying a bike covered in skulls.  So it's not really successfully targetted at kids, and old schoolers don't like it as it bastardises their dreams...

So you have to ask....who is this bike for


and the simple answer...someone who doesn't know any better.


Poor effort, cheap parts...expensive to buy, and it would cost too much to put right.


Let the fashion victims take the hit on cost,  pick up unsold ones left for peanuts, make it better...but Bob Haro make you will it not  my young Jedi master :LolLolLolLol:

even though it has a rubbish padded seat , only a Cromo Down Tube and the solid tyres  I think it looks quite nice.
Would never buy one mind

I think that when they brought out the retro Master in 2004 & only 250 of them it was a good idea, New Skool bike with Old Skool look to it, then the retro Sport came out which was pretty much the same, but with worse parts & this didn't sell very well, I think I saw them on ebay for £79 at one point, so why the fook would they try again  ::)

Here is the one I had  8)



They should have left it there  ::)

 :) The only thing  about the 04 Master that is Master related is the decals.Other than that it`s just a Mirra frame,still worthy of the Master name & way better than that new POS.

Maybe they should have left it there...well at least for Haro anyway, but we all know the sport though heavy was kind of ok, and when it got cheap it was worth having, mainly due to the fact that when you sell one you bought cheap you cant lose...

When the er...freestyler is cheap too it might be worth a punt, just for the turnaround profit to be made when they run out...and also something to laugh at...

It still doesnt look good, but if it can be made to look better on the cheap after buying it cheap...then maybe, just maybe...or maybe not  ;D
