Why though, whats so special about the Gen 1?

It was the first haro frame/fork set also the first freestyle specific frame built

Also a lot of peeps see it as their holy grail of os bmx, if you had one as a kid then you end up with a certain sentimentality towards them... and end up willing to spend a huge amount of dosh to own one again...  :)

I have a real one, needs a rechrome though to get it minty and i'm in talks with rom bloke about that now to ensure its done properly. I'd get another for just the love of them and also for investment purposes too, although i'd never sell them, no matter what. A good condition one is worth at least 1k to 2k, NOS one more than 2k easily I reckon. If Terry Jenkins put his NOS one up with International Bidding it wouldn't surprise me if it reached 6k+ or more as there isn't many NOS ones about, well perhaps there are 3 in a loft somewhere in ireland  :LolLolLolLol:

QUADROPHENIA:


depends on the price of scrap at the time

I know someone, a friend of an old friend I don't see anymore who had one, probably still does and probably hasn't got a clue of it's value as he was never really a bmxer and just used to pose on it up and down his road. As far as I remember it was in great condition, apart from the peeling betennisballed super pros.
