Title: New addition Haro f&f
Post by: aerostylie on February 16, 2010, 07:27 PM
Errr I promised myself that I wouldn't buy any more frames, having limited space and enough to keep me going, but you know what it's like....and ebay was a calling.

Managed to get the winning bid on this last week (went for £44....fair price?). Not sure whether to do a build or keep as is, although lately I sort of like f&f sets by themselves. Comments always welcome, I believe it's circa 1998, everything is spot on, dropouts, forks, decals really nice, just a few minor blemishes here and there.

And radmember Spesh's built up, always fancied this so when the opportunity arose on the bay to bag one :)

Looks like it's in great condition, when a mate of mine started back riding after a break He had One of those in Flat Black, in fact I think He may still have it!

Cheers as ever guys for the replies ;)

Decided to keep it in frameset form (as something else has come up :coolsmiley: :-X), but when the time comes to build, thinking Haro Fusion parts.

At least I can now say I own a Haro (of a sort ::) )

No, I'm not an elitist, just not a fan of Haro, well not post 1990ish.  I do like the early twin tube ones - roots of BMX freestyle and they look 'trick' as we, chosen few :P used to say BITD - I'd have killed for one when I was 13.  What you like and ride is your own business + I don't care if you bunny hop down a curb or flair to footjam, its all BMX & I love to ride and I'll ride with anyone whatever level or age.

There's plenty bikes I don't like on here but if I went on every thread saying I don't like it I am sure I would fall out with many rad members very quickly....sometimes it's better to keep your thoughts to yourself and jog on my friend  :4_17_5:

before reading this i was lookin at the frame n thinkin they had well covered any weak areas gettin the fat downtube to wrap the headtube might have been an idea then.

nice score mr styley dude, nice n quirky :daumenhoch:

yup, i was shocked when it let go, my dad welded a hefty plate either side as a gusset and i rode it for a while longer, ended up selling it to Trevor who ran Leigh on Sea when I got something else
