1997 Haro Shredder Deluxe - gold metal flake.
I owned this bike in 1998 until 2000. Just tracked down the guy I sold it to and got it back off him... had to laugh as he said when he brought it I had put it in a shop window with a note on that said 'Need to sell to buy pram'!
Needs a good clean and a new freewheel but its in real good condition for a bike thats been in constant use. Gonna swap a few bits around and get riding it again after 10 years. There's only one on the museum and thats not got any decals :-) maybe 'cause all the other broke :daumenhoch:

Cool :)
I put this bike together back in 98 when a skateshop I hung around gave up selling bmx stuff and let me build some bits that were left into a bike - I had no idea - I just grabbed stuff that looked cool and wacked it on to be a rider.
Was a bit puzzled as to why the Haro tyres had gone...? Apparently the guy who had it lent it to a mate for a few years but his missus had caught him cheating and slashed the bike tyres :shocked: when she found out it wasn't her (ex) boyfriends bike she brought some new tyres for it :LolLolLolLol:

that's cool Ed....i bet it weighs more than me! :shocked:

They went to a good home on here and I avoided 'theBay' so I'm happy :daumenhoch:

yep they are fine Jim :daumenhoch:
I was a bit concerned about them to start with but I've given the one on my Sport a good thrashin and its been fine. It slips a bit side to side if I try and chuck my 14st at a framewhip but I shouldn't have greased the fooker when I put it in ::)
never had the bars move though :)
-
nice one ed - result :daumenhoch:

Only just seen this - top stuff fella :daumenhoch:

cheers lads
got it all stripped down and doing a clean and rebuild now - nothing major on the resto front - just a clean survivor :angel:
Got a Haro padded seat off of Norty40 and new tyres & grips - swapped the bars and thats your lot.
I know they aren't the best bike in the world but there isn't another complete with decals about that I can find 8)

this one was from the skateshop 'Casino' Rich... when they dabbled in bikes for a bit.
Pete ( who owns Wellgosh ) got a few BMX bits in to Casino when it was in the Malcolm Arcade around 97/98 but Andy who ran the shop was such a skate purist that it never really worked... so they cleared the stuff out at cost and I built this up from the bits... I still cannot figure how such a rare pair of bars got to a tiny skateshop in Leicester... less than 40 pairs made apparently!

I like 'em :daumenhoch: - had a go on one bitd that my mate had and quite liked the geometry. Ok, you don't have the individual build quality of a Standard or S&M from the same period, but they're still a rare bike nowadays as they were still top-mid range :)
I'd kill to get me hands on a OG green Mongoose Fuzz from the same year - had a go on one at some trails once and it rode like a dream :)
