welcome to RAD Graham

definitely NS if you want to do some stunts & that, but have a look around & you might find something interesting that will be strong enough

Hi all, thanks for the replies and the welcome! I have an 83 Haro Freestyler project which I am gathering bits for, but I want something to actually ride. So it looks like I will go for a modern Haro - keeping it in the family!! - what about a Lineage? Oh and I want to put Tuffs on it.

Lineages are decent as far as I know, but if you can get to try stuff out first even better - new school geometry can take a bit of getting used to at first but top tube length will have a big bearing on it. How tall are you?

Build it however you want, but expect a bunch of comments about how flexy tuffs can be if you're putting them under stress on ramps
I rode my 85 master with tuffs in the skatepark before switching to a NS with spokes and proper tyre pressure - the difference was remarkable straight away ;)

I have a 85 Haro FST and I put high pressure tyres on it, linear front brake cable, new school pads, repop Kashimax handler, locking Tech 77s etc and I can now do all my old tricks, I have bent a few axles,bent fork dropouts etc. I have new school bikes and they are so much better for skateparks etc but nothing beats the feeling of doing the old tricks on FST

Nearly 46 and 14 stone now!
