Not really
I sold my OG haro master for very slightly more than these are going for anyway, they're not cheap are they?
-
You do wonder how well the fst will sell given they are all the same price :-\
-
Is the coaster tab, cable guides on the forks and fork standers the only difference between a sport and an fst ?
Know nowt about this sort of stuff. :-\

On these models im not sure? But wasn't it the TT length was different on the OG models with the Sport being an inch longer? Still, im no Haro expert...... :daumenhoch:
-
I think I'd cut down on crack for a day or two and buy an original one.
Cashing in

As a huge Haro fan and collector I'm not sure how I feel about this :(
I should be over the moon but I've got a sour taste in my mouth right now :-\
They've Repoped hutch, skyways and rippers but those frames are still different to the OG ones...
It's not about money .... But I guess for 'Haro' it is ?
Are they all cro-mo?
I'd still always prefer OG ones ... Not sure how these will sell?
-
I think there is to much being reissued now. And like people are saying, why buy a new one when for just a few more quid you can get the original.
-
I like the new school one they've done but it's just a Haro new school bike in red with old style decals, i think they would've been better going full new school but with the old school design. A bit like the supercross that Ed had with ridable geometry, internal headset and mid BB with 990 lugs.
A proper limited edition full cromo job with only 100 frames made or something would've been something worth looking at.
How are these identified differently to OG ones? just the serial?

.........from Alans BMX website
You will know by now Haro’s attention to detail on these projects is second to none, from the colour match, tubing design and graphics they are as perfect as you can get in a production frame. Collectors need not worry - there will be some small details to differentiate these from the originals.
Limited numbered edition one-off production run.
These are full Oldschool style set-ups that use threaded forks and caliper brakes. The Master and Sport also have the removable chrome fork standers.
• Frame: 4130 cro-mo.
• Fork: 4130 cro-mo. 1” threaded.
• BB: American.
• Dropouts: 3/8” (10mm).
• Seatpost size: 7/8” (22.2mm).
• Brake type: Caliper.
• Exact model-specific details (dimensions, etc). to follow.
£399.99

Are they selling repop chrome fork stander seperately?
Could do with a pair for my FST,and am too tight to pay the prices asked for originals :yahoo_silent:
-
As Denzil said why would you at these prices ... I'd rather have an original one for around the same money :tickedoff:
-
They as rough As them utch things Clint ???

God knows bud, paint can hide a multitude of sins, you only need to watch American hotrod to know that ;)

2mm thick black powder coat is best for that :daumenhoch:
utter bastard to get off though Thumbs down
-
Hmm..... :-\ Really don't know what to make of these. They're not cheap, so you might as well buy an original. Therefore, what's the point? They look cool though :daumenhoch:
-
not if its haro :LolLolLolLol:

The Sport is a mix of the Master and FST, which has the Master rear drops and coaster tab, fork and frame cable guides and fork standers.
The FST was an entry level bike part wise with the Sport nearly the same part wise as the Master.
To me, they are just a money making exercise to cash in on us guys while the going is good. I doubt if Bob had a lot of say in whether these were going ahead or not too. It's still a Taiwanese company and can we be sure that the complete frame sets are in fact 4130 chromoly?
With prices of Haro frames picking up in the US and new blood coming into it too, these will be snapped up as they are already done in the colour they should be, complete new decals, and mint. It's just bolt on and go. No more buying a beater, fixing the chewed drops, sending off for paint and getting decals that you apply yourself and hope you don't fook it up, all for £400 notes.

We are proud to announce Haro's 2015 Vintage project frame kits which will comprise - just like it did in 1985 - Master, Sport and FST all in original colours and graphics. The three models were designed for the developing specialisation of Freestyle back then - the Master was more suitable for ground tricks (known as Flatland today), the Sport was slightly longer and was more of a ramp/park/bowl bike (think Mike Dominguez and Brian Blyther) while the FST (which stood for Freestyle, Street, Park) was as the name suggests, a do-it-all solution. :police:
masters feel hideous to ride for me practically backing up what it says here .

Don't think Bob has any say whatsoever he parted ways with the company years ago, as far as I can see he can't even use his own last name in the font and the logo as it's copyrighted hence the Ikonix branding.
Didn't Haro have the Dom Phippsio site taken down :-\
The repops shouldn't affect the value of the old stuff based on the fact none of the reproductions have so to date if I had a few Haros laying around I would be too annoyed.
Wouldn't be rushing out to buy one of these either as the price should come down has done with the others
-
I can't quite see, do the master and sport have the integral rear framestanders like the old Tai ones did? :-\
-
Yes, they do. :) Hard to see but if you study the photo you can just about work it out. :-\ :daumenhoch:

Yep.... And an absolute bag o shite to ride "nono"
-
I really like the real old one more :daumenhoch:
-
such a cash in, when Mongoose did that limited edition replica about 10 years ago it was only a couple of hundred quid for a complete bike!
These must be so cheap to make.

I went in last saturday for a couple of parts with a mate and had a look at the 24 and a few others. When you walk up they really look the part but when you study them for a bit the updated parts stand out a mile, even the tyres.
I think when your an old school builder you appreciate the time and effort that goes into sourcing, referbing, and building 80s bmx.
To buy one off the shelf seems like cheating to me.
Like a few of the lads have said for what they cost i'd have the genuine article all day over one of these. :daumenhoch:
