Don't know if it's a Haro, but your thread title makes it sound like you want to do naughty things to a bike  rather than a bike I.D. :D

87 or 88 Master, by the look of things. Twin tube and canti brake lugs......but get him to send you the serial number, that would clear it all up.

Yeah looks like an 87/early 88. But where is the head tube gusset?  Is it me or just the way the pics are.  :daumenhoch:

Wouldn't want to move that seat post!!

is it as early as 87-88 when they made the top tubes parallel for the 1st half?

Could be good if purchase price is right.

Looks like an 87 Master, but I can't see a headtube gusset either, there was a thread on here where someone had an 87 Master Prototype, maybe this is another, have you got any better photo's  ???

Post by: thebigdog on February 27, 2012, 10:24 PM
Cant remeber where it is but somewhere like thailand there is loads of reps ....everyone rides around on a pk ripper reps.

Wouldnt suprise me if it was a copy of somekind.

The crank set & bars are pure tat ,wouldnt even throw them in the metal bin as it deserves better.

Although looks like a spin tech stem

That seat post aint shifting either :crazy2:

Try and get a serial to confirm but i would say no mr dudwey

To be honest this is showing all the signs of being a cheap Thai Haro copy. I think it would be best left alone mate.  :daumenhoch:

I will be surprised if it is a Haro,  Stu spotted the Lack of coaster bracket if it was a Haro it would be an 87.5 or 88 Master and would have the Bracket

The serial number should be on the inside of the rear drop out on the drive side but i doubt it is there.  I would be leaving well alone without better pictures :daumenhoch:
