Title: info needed haro gen 1
Post by: wolfybmx on October 14, 2006, 02:09 PM

excuss my ignorance but how many types of haro gen 1 frame are there. as i have aquired a frame that looks exactly like a gen 1 but has a slight differance in where the rear brake fits. the only way i can explain is it has a flat plate welded into the frame between the frame tubes which follows the frame shape from the seat tube down to where the brake would fit.. will try and get a pic posted later

sounds like a dp firebird rear gusset/brake plate, not a haro.
pics would help

Yeah or a copy, but does sound like a DP. does it have a little gusset welded between the two top tubes ?

yes thats how the rear end looks.  but the front end is the same as a gen 1 frame and so are the rear drop outs. ran out of day light to take pics but will get some posted tomorrow.
