Title: HARO RS1 PAINT COLOURS
Post by: adeshere on September 05, 2006, 09:47 AM

Hi,

I've seen a HARO RS1 for sale n blue/black/chrome

Did they come in different colour blues, ie light and dark ?

Just the one blue from memory . . . could be wrong though  :-\

Here's a pic of the RS2 for reference

Hope this helps

This is the RS1 I currently building back up.  The blue looks the same as the previous pics:-

That's a cool pic.  I've managed to find those exact decals too.  I'm glad you've posted this pic so I can see exactly where the decals should go.

Hi,

I just noticed that the blue then black is different on these two frames, ie blue at head end on one, and black on the other

The one with the chappie is the RS1 frame (I think).  It's like mine (and Mattdubs pic) RS1's in chrome, blue & black.  This could be a case of 'little knowledge is dangerous', though.  I haven't had my frame long and don't really know much about Haros  :)

Lou's & the other pic I posted are 1986 RS1's , those RS2's may be 86 also but I'm not sure .

There is a guy (in US ?) who has the Haro brochures on his website in pdf format somewhere .

I'm pretty sure ABMX reviewed the Group 1 around issue 35-37. Coould be wrong though, and often am.
