Announcement - Haro Freestyler 30th Anniversary Frame and Fork availability

(1/8) > >>

PHIPPSIO:
Hi all

I have been looking at the best and most cost effective way of bringing these frames into the UK. We all know the cost of duty and overseas freight so its been a bit of a headache but I have something arranged now that may be the best option. If you are interested in purchasing based on the following arrangement, please email me directly at DOMPHIPPSIO@aol.com

If you aren't, please don't comment in the thread, its purely for information purposes.

The UK Haro Importer Moore Large have agreed to bring an allocation into the UK and reserve these by individual name i.e. I submit a list and they contact you when they land and are ready for local dispatch. The duty on the frames is unavoidable, Moore Large will have to pay it so they have to pass it on. That aside, we have a landed cost that strips back the costs as much as possible due to some negotiation and bulk shipping discounts.

The landed price to a collector in the UK without local delivery is 840.00 UK Pounds. The worst case was $995 + $200 VAT + $45 US duty + $225 Delivery = $1465 or 915 pounds so its a saving of around 75 pounds per unit.

A number of you have already committed and are on the list. anybody who would like one, please drop me an email with your full name and email address as soon as possible. Id like to have the list up together by later tonight and I have a number of these reserved should anybody want one.

Thanks guys
Dom

290 sold on the open market and the first ten serials auctioned at entire value to a charity. Probably the athletes recovery fund but will be confirmed soon.

I'm sorry, I tried not to comment but humor got the better of me,


£900?

nine-hundred UK pounds?

for for a simple bmx frame with some re-popped stickers on it?

as I've said preiously I like the frame, its a nice job, what it should have been before, the hype and enjoyment of the project has been cool,
genuinely what the frame deserved, its a legend,
well done, genuinely,

but £900 fooking quids!!

knowing the excitement and demand for the frames would it not have made more sense to do a larger production to keep the price down?
could a massive bike company like HARO not find the simple resources to build a simple bicycle frame?

and why the need for a list?
is it like a guest list where you don't get to party if you're not invited?

so you end up creating disappointment in those that aren't on "your" special list?

£500 would be expensive,

£900 is just silly.

Each to his own Joe but I only paid $575 for my Retrogoose and that included custom made one-off forks made by Geoff Melms. Yes, there are only ten of each of the frames too, so a pretty exclusive run.... and I have one of each now, so I got both plus change for the same price as the Haro.

Doesn't mean if I had that kind of money I wouldn't probably have one for the hell of it though as they are iconic. End of..... Just feels a big amount I suppose. But the serious collectors can spend their money on what they like and that is a special piece of kit.
