I got this Gen 2 Sport around two years ago from Eskildsen in Denmark, it had been well used

Rear Dropouts cut out 14mm & 990s

Frame repaired & all the paint removed, then off to SBD for some powder

The Tuffs needed a bit of attention

I built it up, but was never really happy with it

Then in Germany this year Jay showed me this photo

& I knew what had to be done

But I can't bring myself to remove the Coaster Bracket $:-\$

Another pair of O wings had to be found & dyed

I contacted Rich Sigur again & asked him if he could help me with some of the hard to see parts, like the stem, seat & what was on the plate.

The stem was an early Anlun prototype.

The seat is a Viscount Dyna, which was quite hard to find, but thanks to Radman I got a Nos one

Its 95% there now, just have to sort out the decals on the plate & its all done

Then take some proper photo's

I've had a lot of help with this build, so big thanks to Jay, Joe8167, Rich Sigur, Juan, BrianP, Moose, Radman, Eskildsen, SBD & Del

Ditto !
Nice to see before pics, you did a great work on that one

Refresh my memory Chris, what's the difference between that stem and the regular Anlun ones???
Prototype because Rich got it earlier than any Haro owner ?

You've made me want one Chris - looks authentic and spot on, like it lots

I don't think there is much difference in the stems, but this is the closest I think I will get to a Prototype.

Yes as a Haro factory rider Rich Sigur & the other riders would get to see & use the parts before they went into full production.

Awsome build chris, great story and restoration. Hopefully Rich will be able to fill in the last pieces of the puzzle with help on that plate layout.

Thanks guys for the nice comments, I love the way this bike was used fully to what it was intended for

Then passed onto me for a resto & retirement

It really does look so much better with the plate on.

Great work on the frame. Nobody would ever know that it had been repaired.

Are you happy with the shade of blue the Tuffs came out after they were dyed? Maybe it's the light blue of the seat that makes the wheels look a darker blue. You could always chuck that NOS seat in the pot to complete the look

MartyC · « **Reply #20 on:** November 14, 2009, 07:10 AM »

Very tidy that Chris

Who did the frame repairs?

The different colours of blue go together really well, The seat & brake cables are the same as the lightest blue on the decals & the Tuff's & the grips are the same as the darker blue.

Marty some of the frame repairs like the dropouts were done already by Allan

The bike looks awesome and I'm glad you didn't take offence at my cheeky comments.

There was hell on when someone left a reasonable comment about the chroming of a derailleur on N2CUS's racer

Love these resto threads, great build mate.
