Got the Z-rims on that Jay sent me last week. I've taken off the Tuffs to use on something else, but I think the Z's look sweet with the whitewalls.
Need to source some better brakes, and maybe change the chainwheel for a spider. I'm not too keen on the solid ones. I'd like some better condition pedals too, but they are DX's on there, so they'll stay for now.
I fitted Master decals instead of Sport ones, purely because I prefer the colour. My bike, my choice ;)
Plenty more projects on the go, so I'll try and get some more pics up soon.
Cheers
Guy  :)

nice i do love white walls on black wheels
and wot are those grips as i need some slim ones for turben lite lol
-
nice don`t see many chrome sports ,is it original chrome
-
Is it not an 84 sport?
looks sweet though
-
gotta agre with you about the fusion chainring, its a little on the hideous side!
sweet looking bike apart from that ;)
i don't really like any of the 1 piece chainrings (apart from the early Redline Flite one of course ::)) i prefer the look of a Power Disc! even the name of it sounds tough LOL 8)
-
Chubs - They are 'Haro Bikes' grips
Stuntmaster - yes, it is original chrome, and it's in pretty good condition too, with minimal wear.
Orb - you could be right chap, I'm no expert. As far as I'm concerned, the earlier the better. :)
-
wrap around and top tube gusset? it's not an 84 Sport.
-
nice looking haro you got there!!!
this is an 84 though

not sure what yours is
not an 84, and it doesnt look like an 85. could be much later!!!
-
It's definetly not an '84 and most definetley not an '85. Could be '87 or '88. Top tube kind of gives it away.
-
I think it's early 90's. That style top tube for the Sport came in after '89. Don't know when - but after.
-
92ish i reckon ,but not 100%.
-
thats what i thought!
nice bike though. i think we will need a serial and some closeups to identify this beasty!
-
'90 - '92 ?? :'(
Oh well, I've got a gen1 coming, so not the end of the world :)
I'll get a serial no, later on. Any particular close up ??
-
dropouts (f+r) and gussets i reckon!!!

Yeah, I know the forks are backwards, I just dragged it out of the shed. :idiot2: ;D

So what is this doing in the shed ?
Why is it not in the house ;)
-
the 90 in the serial number might be telling us something. It's a nice bike though, you don't see them very often the masters are quite common but not the sport.
The 2nd bike looks more like an 84 :)
-
Bob's right, the white one is an '84 and I suggest you've swapped at least the stems between the two?
-
I haven't swapped anything, but I might now. :)
-
I would if I were you - Good lad ;)
While your at it swap the wheels as well. That '84 should take pride of place (imho).
-
mine too.
