Anyone on here - Mint old school Haro riding down Wallisdown Road, Bournemouth

[rhino_mac]

Drove out of work today and saw a guy riding a very nice old school chrome Haro freestyler - twin top tubes style with black skyways and green cables going into the rotor. Looked like a series one if that's right - never was very good at freestyle bikes as I was into racing at the time. Early 80's definately and looked incredibly mint from what I could see.

Beautiful sunny day and the guy looked like he was out for a bimble. I was the guy in the Saab convertible staring at the bike just outside Proctor and Gamble!

That's the second old school BMX I've seen on Wallisdown road this month - there was a guy recently on a really nice Diamond Back - looked like a silver streak or a Viper but as it was across the road I couldn't make it out.

Is there much of an old school scene in Bournemouth. Must get the Laserlite out!

Should have hunted him down and get his number to buy it!

Then Matt (Swivel) would tell you its rubbish or snide and offer to take it off your hands as a favour....

i may have been a new haro freestyler.

Might have been I guess but it looked very convincingly old school - and without being too offensive, he looked about my age, which is old enough to know better than to trundle around on a kids bike, and he looked like he enjoyed a beer or three.

Actually, it looked like he was having a right old laugh in the sun and had dusted the old girl off for a bimble

i live near there and know of a guy with a diamondback,few other bikes he has too,goes by the name of rogaar  something on ebay,nice guy,dont think he has a haro though but he may not have showed me all his bikes when i went round there!
reckon there are a few old schoolers in the bmth /poole area,i restrict my bimbling to my close at the mo,but will venture further when i get a comfier seat!
