She wanted to cheer me up after me and the missus split up and knew how much i wanted one when i was younger, i showed her this when she came round and said bid on it and i'll pay - the Z-rims i got from selling my Z-mags.

No mate, it's been used - but not as a rider (i think)

Im going to get my mate to run me some repro same colour bar decals as the frame/forks instead of the green ones.

Not 100% sure, ive looked on the net and ive not seen any blue/white decals.

Hopefully ive got myself something that's rarer than a rare thing in rare hunting season.

I think it is an 85, my 85 Master has cable guids, but my 86 Master does not.

Chrome Haro's (apart from Gen 1s) are always quite rare.

But Rare or not its well nice  :daumenhoch:

Sure it's an 85, ive had someone contact me from ebay (probably one of us lot) asking for the bars as theyre 85 and rare in chrome.

Z-Rims are going to be re-dyed, new spokes and nipples and ACS hubs strips and polished to within an inch of their lives.

They're going to be shod with white Haro Freestyle rubber.

Also got the group 1 Haro Stem to go on it which is going to get re-polished professionally.

Yes they did, but my 86 does not.

I would have to see the rear dropouts close to tell you or the serial number should tell you.
