Gen1 update
« on: February 16, 2006, 10:24 PM »
Finally got the flight arms back from the chromers, so I did a bit more assembly tonight.

Comp III's swapped for Comp ST's

Redline 401 - 180mm cranks

Shotgun II seat

Grab-On MX3 grips

Skyway Tuff pads

Also popped a flexfighter on there. Any opinions on these ? Good or not good ? I'm thinking it might look better if I cut it down a bit ?

Still a few bits to do like, sort out the crank arm bolts, and sort out some pedals and a chain.









Cheers

Guy  :)

Oh, just wondered as the gusset weld looks a bit 'poopy' for a Gen1 - has it been re-welded?

It's just where the camera flash reflected off the chrome. It's actually a nice neat Haro weld  :daumenhoch:

ditch the flex fighter and drop the stem right down, if it'll go.

Ah, I see it now, sorry about that  :uglystupid2: Looks great anyway, I was thinking of buying one of those flex fighters, but I think I'm going to make my own.

Do me a favour, PM your serial number, please? I started a kind of 'database' of Gen 1 serial numbers in an attempt to decipher them (without much success so far) ::)

Anybody got one of the very first Gen 1`s which never had the welding between the bottom of the gusset and head tube ?

Btw one of mine has the serial number TPP1748F, but you`ll have to ask ORB for the other  :daumenhoch:

Hi, It looks sweet Guy.

Not too keen on the flexfighter though.

Grafight X Pedals would look a minter on that.

(NB - You get many different grades of wire wool, you have to get it from an old boy diy shop and get real fine! NOT the halfords 5 different bits in 1 bag stuff, that is still course)

Nice build, you just goota love a Haro.

Whats the Haro serial codes mean?

I know that T is Torker Built, F is Freestyler, M is Master etc, but what is the PP?

I've got a few pairs of DX's, but they all need work. I've also got a NOS pair of MKS Grafights, but they are 1/2 inch  :'(  Swapsies anyone  :D

Nice bike mate, looks great.

lovely touch... the mini cable tie ( cool find )

Blue or chrome rat traps...  it's the only pedals for that bike, and don't polish that chain wheel, it's supposed to look like that :daumenhoch:
