Title: 30 Years of Haro Freestyle
Post by: PHIPPSIO on September 26, 2012, 07:34 PM
Guys a lot of you know that I just delivered a project for Haro to recreate the original Haro Freestyler frame and fork. I am about to push the button on a microsite dedicated to the project and allowing you guys to register interest in buying one of the 300 frames we had made. Keep checking back at www.harobmxhistory.com in the next 24 hours abd it should be live. Everything you need to know about the project is on the site.

In the mean time, we had an evening event with the riders and team past and present at Inter Bike in Vegas last week to celebrate the 30 year anniversary of the Haro Freestyler. Vital BMX covered the event, heres some shots from an awesome evening...

I reckon they'll look good based on what I've seen so far, only the price puts me off (but I think they'll sell without too much trouble)

The repro freestyles look mint

What's the script with the serial numbers?  Are they just going to follow on from where they left off? Or will they have 2012 stamped on them?

They have a unique serial system although located in the right hand dropout. 300 have been produced, I was fitting decals on Monday before I flew home. They come in a nice presentation box with a foam insert and with my own screened decals (artworked fromn original set)and a DVD showing the manufacturing process. They are $995 each full cromo and produced in Santa Ana, California.

"must be loaded" well, actually, um, NO. I do work in saudi but ive spent much money on a big daddy resto and building a 2012 condor. I wanted the skyway TA remake but that was 5 years ago after the 1st production run. Coloredtuffs said they would make more of the frames but never did. I always wanted a Haro and maybe now I can get 1 to ride and 1 to keep unbuilt and offload the big daddy as spares to go toward the build. I may even sell the condor even though that set me back around £1200.

 Im not rich but it is payday tomorrow.

great work dom :4_17_5:
guess the streetbeat project will have to go on hold for aa few months :10_2_12:
I keep checkin but I'm guessing the site will go live based on the west coast time zone of the states ?
am I thinking along the right lines dom ?

Post by: JAY on September 27, 2012, 11:57 PM
Just thought i'd mention a few things on the frameset, It is based on the original Mark 1 freestyler, for anyone who does not know, this frame had the gap underneath the headtube gusset as did the original framesets, also the geometry is based on the Mark 1 aswell with the slacker head angle, basically its the 30 year old version, Sweet!

They look awesome Dom, you have clearly put an immense amount of time and effort into this project and it shows. These will fly out the door and quite rightly so.
Well done to you and anyone who gets one. It is indeed a well deserved 'doff of the cap' to Jay for receiving one too, top marks mate.  :daumenhoch:

Post by: factory pilot on September 28, 2012, 08:04 PM
I guess (after the serial code) this will hence be known as the "Anniversary Freestyler" :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:

Hey Dom how about getting Bob to sign those gorgeous anniversary boxes ? That would be the icing on the cake !!! ;)

Tried to get some more information and so turned to the dark side (bmxmuseum)...so many crazy rumours... all 300 sold out already... one going to each of the top 300 Haro dealers in the states .... not for sale until Christmas ?????

i'm guessing these are all nonesense ??
According to Dom's offficial site serial numbers 1-10 will be sold at auction for charity......Great idea Dom  :smitten:

Am I the only Radster getting really excited here ? :D :D :D :D
