Know nowt about this sort of stuff. :-\

The Sport is a mix of the Master and FST, which has the Master rear drops and coaster tab, fork and frame cable guides and fork standers.
The FST was an entry level bike part wise with the Sport nearly the same part wise as the Master.
To me, they are just a money making exercise to cash in on us guys while the going is good. I doubt if Bob had a lot of say in whether these were going ahead or not too. It's still a Taiwanese company and can we be sure that the complete frame sets are in fact 4130 chromoly?
With prices of Haro frames picking up in the US and new blood coming into it too, these will be snapped up as they are already done in the colour they should be, complete new decals, and mint. It's just bolt on and go. No more buying a beater, fixing the chewed drops, sending off for paint and getting decals that you apply yourself and hope you don't fook it up, all for £400 notes.

Don't think Bob has any say whatsoever he parted ways with the company years ago, as far as I can see he can't even use his own last name in the font and the logo as it's copyrighted hence the Ikonix branding.
Didn't Haro have the Dom Phippsio site taken down :-\
The repops shouldn't affect the value of the old stuff based on the fact none of the reproductions have so to date if I had a few Haros laying around I would be too annoyed.
Wouldn't be rushing out to buy one of these either as the price should come down has done with the others

I can't quite see, do the master and sport have the integral rear framestanders like the old Tai ones did? :-\
BMX1973:
Yes, they do. :) Hard to see but if you study the photo you can just about work it out. :-\ :daumenhoch:
