Title: Haro Gen 1 freestyler - daily rider.
Post by: adammannering on July 10, 2014, 05:20 PM

Well just taken her out on a ride, and feels amazing.  Rode it around locally, just beautiful. 

I used to have one BITD - and got it nicked outside my house.  Coonts.

I managed to salvage the parts, from my old ripper, I already had - that were sat in garage.

Love the ratty look of the skyways, got these from from a dude in america, who had them been sat in his basement, in arizona for 30 years, still, got dust and sand on em, which i quite like.

GT layback post - again from the US.......

looking forward to a long summer........on it.........my little boy has his balance bike now, and he loves going out with daddy on the bikes.

Massive thanks to Del - for decals.

Shout to Lee from Hockleys of Southend for re-chrome
