Hi guys , bit of background , this is my 1984 sport which ive owned from new ,
It went through many changes in its early life ( if only we knew how valuable they'd become ! )
i cant even remember how it originally was all i know is that bits used to get swapped around or changed on a regular
basis ,and it ended up being powdercoated red with a red and white theme ,
The last time it was rode in anger was probably over 20yrs ago , BUT it has always been my intention to restore it 1 day
and this year i did
I must say i was never going to go for a full on factory build or totally era correct build , just a nice looking bike to take me back to my youth and ride on sunny days with my kids

unfortunately i dont have any pics of it back in the day

( although me mum might have in the loft )

Thanks for looking

so heres how it was when i started

used to roll on these ogks

start of the strip down

F+F bars and seat post sent off to be shotblasted and powdercoated this how they came back

decals start to go stedy hand needed

BB and headset fitted

bars,stem and seatpost fitted

Z's , tuff neck , nos mx 1000 with tech 3'S , twin pinch redlines sugino spider and suntour ring

finished article

Very nice dude!

Your original bike too . . . That gets extra points! Super cool.

Super super smart looking Haro bro

2 things though, use the potts mod and run cable through for real F/S and GET SHOT OF THEM THERE SHARKBITES for Shimano DX or SX bro

Cages for race and platforms for freestyle

Benno that is Sweet , sweet, sweet

and even better knowing it's always been your bike since new ,, you lucky fella

Just one thing though why oh why modern Twin pinch Redlines

,, you had the original proper 80's crank ,,
everyone used one piece for freestyle back then , you've done a great job do it justice swap the cranks and pedals

Tiz a stunner is that

be carefull the pads dont mark the zeds tho

well done.

benno · « **Reply #15 on:** June 17, 2011, 07:29 AM »

Wow cheers for the comments guys ,
Pedals are being changed Shimanos landing very soon

Not gonna do Potts mod although I do have a drilled bolt if
I change me mind

Tyres are Cheng shin from Rini's bargain at about £36 pair
Not sure about the crank tbh , the 1 peice I have is probably
the original but does need a far bit of work to get it looking nice
( might look into getting it chromed )
Tuf pads are a temp measure untill some of the right colour blue
come along
Cheers Benno

vnice that , bonus as stated it beeing your old one ,

brettypeeps · « **Reply #21 on:** June 17, 2011, 06:31 PM »

Nice looking Haro you have there

with a good balance of colour. I would run the potts mod on it

The Decals are from an 85 not 84 they should have three stripes

brummie · « **Reply #22 on:** June 17, 2011, 07:29 PM »

ooh very tasty indeed

agree about the pedal and crank changes but whatever you do dont potts mod those nos mx1000's
