Haro Group 1 racebike project.

Jon The Bassist:
Okay, so I need an OS bike to race, on a fairly tight budget.
I've just got this Haro Group 1 from the bay. These are the before pictures with absolutely nothing done to the bike:









Front Dia Compe Bulldog:

Clean it up, whip the front brake off, tilt the seat up and lower the post, put a plate + numbers on, oil the chain, pump the tires up and set off for racing :daumenhoch:

CD17:
Nice, what are you going to do with it, re-furb, ride or a complete rebuild  ???

Jon The Bassist:
more pics:





short 1 piece crank with diddy chainwheel on; looks about 41 teeth:


new Haro seat (old one was supplied as well, without guts):


steel Beretta wheels with chrome falling off, not great but are straight and they work:


rear bulldog brake with some corrosion on the frame:


rear hub and freewheel:


This bike is to be entirely for riding, not a restoration for showing. I might even put non-Haro bits on to improve it as a racebike.

well i'd put a 15T on the back as 41-15 is a sweet gearing set-up, put some better wheels on it for sure and then race it :daumenhoch:
