Ey...??
-
at your nearest billy smarts circus
no these are available in the uk from september will post a pic later
-
Interested to see if they have actually improved upon it since the last photos I see, which were bloody awful :-[
-
i want one! they sound cool, is it the one that was on here about 6-7 months ago?
-
interested to see if they've changed it at all ...
-
piccys please! :) :)
-
Where's the pics???
You may as well have said "Gold Plated RF-1" ffs!
No use without pics!!!
Ahhhhhh.......you put a pic up! Mmmmmm...doesn't look too bad, but I bet it isn't all cro-mo, which makes it practically worthless as a rider. Pity. If it was trick tubing and light and strong, and had front and rear 990's, I wouldn't mind the f&f to build up and ride.

If it's still as sh1t as the pictures we last saw of it I'm glad I'm not a haro dealer. :LolLolLolLol:
I think most people will now wait until a said dealer on Canvey Island buy all the unsold stock in a years time and sells them for £89 a go like the Sport fiasco. :LolLolLolLol:
-
The sport wasnt that bad...I've got 2 of them :'(

i agree its not spectacular as its a pr stunt but you wish you were a haro and premium products dealer and not db dealer when you see the 09 range for pricing and specs sunny :idiot2:
-
nice seat :LolLolLolLol: only the decals stand up imho...
-
how much they gonna be?
-
found this http://weblog.screamandfly.com/?p=93
-
Front forks look bent......
:-\
-
It's fooking PISH!
Why do they do this, why not do what Skyway have done with the TA, do an anniversary model that's exactly the same as the original.
Idiots!
Daz.
-
oh yeah lovin that........ ::)
no f***ing front brake..... low end components :knuppel2:
still at least its full cro-mo this time.
well worth waiting for ebay 89 quid bargain-ish :P
-
Retail is supposed to be $600 USD for the complete. No frame/fork option.
I'll buy one and have it powdercoated green 85 decals and ride the crap out of it!
Only cool thing about it is the twin top tubes....
-
More bandwagon shite :P
I'm waiting for the Halfords turbo re issue :crazy2:
:LolLolLolLol:
-
:wtf: have they done :idiot2: some people never learn :yahoo_silent:
-
Why are everybody throwing their toys out of the pram....Sure I can understand that it isnt exactly the same as a Gen 1 (I know memories mean a lot guys), and the fairly rubbish parts fitted dont help..but given a little faith and imagination it can be a lot better than it is...
The lack of a frame/forks option will probably kill it more than anything.

I'm waiting for the Halfords turbo re issue
NOW WE'RE TALKING!!! ;D
-
In fact....the only good thing about that is I could cut it down in to a 16" and build it for my young lad!

I guess you dont like it then :2funny:

but the money they want for it is to much, you could buy a bmx for that amount of money

i think it'll look pretty cool once you've changed some of the parts on it......i shall reserve judgement till i see the finished article :daumenhoch:

I don't actually because I'm an S&M, FIT, United and FBM dealer. :LolLolLolLol:
I'm still going to race your old Haro next year though. ;D ;D
Oh my god I've just seen the pictures of it. :2funny: :2funny: :2funny:

Now don't be so rude ;D what was wrong with the Halfords turbo......... :LolLolLolLol:
-
ffs.
-
NO I didn't just have the Frame & Fork Set I had the whole dam bike... ;D
I also had a real HARO :daumenhoch:
-
I though it was a piss take at first...can't see the point of all these reissues...in my mind it is just silver pipes with haro stickers on...oh and crap parts.
The past has gone that's why we love it...what ever next SE Racing reissue the PK Ripper back catalogue :D zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
-
I'll probably end up regretting this but i'd rather buy a remake of the DP sh1tstyler than that!
-

lol

.............Skids

Cant remember :-[

Spoke to the guy who works at haro distributors today. Just so as you know, he reckons the retail is going to be £699, sounds wrong to me, but thats what he reckons. If so, it looks like there will be lots unsold, it's too much.

-
roll on a years time when they go for under £100 might buy a couple then
-
£699 :2funny:
Look Haro, it aint a proper Gen 1, or even near :2gunsfiring_v1:
You just know there's gonna be lots unsold, so many of these companies completely fook up when it comes to our memories. For the, ahem, older ones amongst us, the Raleigh chopper Mk3 was one of the biggest pieces of shit ever to see the light of day.
We all know that old school bikes arent always particularly strong, but we cut our teeth on them and woe betide anyone who tries to diss our memories. Haro, now look, this is a turd but we can possibly do something with it, well once its down to the frame and forks anyway.
For example, if the 2006 old school sport was built as a serious bmx bike, it failed dismally. However, taking into account what I said earlier about os bikes not always being the strongest things on the planet it fits right in. Its not often that I will come out in defence of a turd, but I dont think the 2006 sport was that bad a bike, if it was used for cruising and generally messing around on. :knuppel2: arguably good looking and not difficult to improve, the cut price sport made good sense for both the financially challenged old schooler and those who didnt want to wreck the genuine article.
When the retro gen 1 finally gets out the door...yes it will be shit...and when Haro gives up and lets most of them go for peanuts....We'll buy them up and show them what they should have done in the first place.
Though the retro gen 1 may be in its current guise an insult to peoples memories...when it does become cheap (and it will) you can buy em, build em give em to your kids (or just the kid in you) and make even more memories....
After all isnt that what life, and bmx is all about.
