Heres what has happened so far with my Haro Sport - would love some feedback!
It started with its original green paint mostly scraped off and black hammerite sprayed on badly. This frame belonged to a guy I know, he bought it in 1992 as a brand new complete bike - so I know the frames history and that its not been too thrashed....

Then I stripped it of its paint -

Then got it powdercoated white -

Then finally I managed to find some Haro stickers from the USA - I knew I was never gonna get the original stickers, but wanted something on the frame - Went for some 90's Haro decals and some smaller older decals for the headtube/seattube. Had to trim the downtube HARO logo to fit before the bend in the tube, and used the HAro Chevrons I cut off on the seatstays - it looks great. So Ive gone for a red/white/blue colour scheme - I think it finishes it off nicley. Now I just need to build it - got everything I need apart fro some Haro Kneesavers handlebars.

What year is that frame? I had one in about 92, but I don't remember it having that lug on the bottom bracket for a chain guard.
Looks good in white :daumenhoch:

It was bought by a mate of mine in 1992 - its so weird that chainguard thing - I think its a late 1991 model. Will post pics when its built!
