Components for Haro Group 1 Race Technique build. (Originally sold as F+F only).

Frame & Forks (From Phippsio)
Odyssey dynatron Bottom Bracket.
Haro Grp 1 stem (Cheap Taiwanese copy!), will get a FUSION stem later.
Takagi 1pc crank with Takagi Spider and Takagi chainring 44t
Hatta Mx-10 headset
Elina seat and post
Kneesaver bars (No idea if correct but look good).
Black Krayton grips
Victor bear-trap pedals
Odyssey Pitbull rear caliper with Tech 3 brake lever.
Suntour 16t freewheel
Sumo 20” x 1.75” with Comp 3’s (copies).

Thanks to all those that helped (Phippsio,Coz,DJgivvinup.Arnaud (For the sound advice!!),Dordymush,CBRGIL) with my 1st build.
I know it’s not 100% kosher but i’ll get round to sourcing more genuine parts, funds permitting!!
Considering I have a limited tool kit and bike building knowledge, I think it's come out ok.

Appreciate any feedback and all comments.

And I’ve started my 2nd solo build already!! :uglystupid2:

Post by: CD17 on December 18, 2007, 01:30 PM: Very nice first build :daumenhoch:

If it was mine, I would change the seat, only because I don't like those seats & swap the Bars with Flatcap for the Race version Kneesavers...

But I'm just fussy, its very nice :daumenhoch:

Have to agree. I really like the build but need Haro race bars not kneesavers. Apart from that it is nice nice nice.
