(1/10) > >>

This is how it arrived from the USA the Chrome isn't that bad at all but under the black paint the Chrome is all gone so the frame was delivered to SBD to work his magic on it.  I have sent the frame and forks, Bars, Stem and Dia Compe seat clamp all to be powdered.  I have decided not to go for the standard Haro Green as I always thought it was a bit dull compared to a DP back in the day so I am going for a much more lairy green as seen on Steven Costas and Firebird Steves DP's in the museum



















Got The Brakes 880/901 in Blue from Daz BMX Blue with Green DC Cables
Got The Pedals Shimano SX in Blue.  From Vert Ego Blue Shimano SX
Got The Grips Blue Ame Round's From Vert Ego 
Got The Seat Elina UL in Blue from Different Path
Got The Stem...  Green Redline Forklifter
Got The Bars... Haro freestyle Bars in Green
Got The tyres... Green Haro's from Vert Ego
Got The Chain blue YBN.  From Alans BMX
Got The Inner Tubes
Got The chain ring redline polished silver
Got The Seat Clamp Green Dia compe
Got The Cranks Redline Flights Twin Pinch
Got The wheels in waiting to be fitted.  Araya Super 7x's on peregrine hubs (Suzue Sealed 48s) built by JT Smooth these are Boooooootiful...   :smitten: :smitten:
Got The Shimano Freewheel
Got The HeadSet Tioga Bear trap ii
Got The Trick Nuts Skyway in Green
Got The Chain Tensioners
Got The Forkstanders from USA
And of course got the obligatory dice valve caps

Transfers are being made by Del including a Blue redline transfer to go on on my stem and Haro stickers for the bars
The Frame ect are currently with SBD.  can't wait to get them back all freshly powdered

Thanks :daumenhoch:

I've found the Chrome on these part painted ones is not normally very good around the headtube & BB so I would paint it  :daumenhoch:

You could go for Green but I know it is quite hard to match, or have you seen the blue 86 Master on page 14

That RADbandit has, I think that looks sweet  :)

The good thing about these 80s Haro's is so many colours go with them :coolsmiley:

Yeah I think a repaint might well be in order as I don't like the black. I was always a fan of green aswell. I will get some pics up when it arrives :daumenhoch:

Yeah the green is sweet, give SBD a PM & see if he has sorted out the green yet :daumenhoch:

They're not cheap nowadays are they. :shocked:  I remember when Skatepool used to put NOS Master and Sport framesets on eBay for £150.  They had loads as well, frames from '85 to '89 and maybe beyond.  That was about five years ago, though. 

I remember building bikes was a lot easier (and cheaper) then as Vert-Ego, Alans, Skatepool and Rudewheels ::) had loads of NOS gear for sale.  Those were the days. :'(

Looks like a nice little project you have there. :daumenhoch:
