are they out yet? ???
-
its looking like a November release :)
-
My local bmx shop say the importers are'nt bringing any to the uk... :-\
-
Just got the brochures and pricelist, its in there and priced so they must be bringing it in.
It looks ok but I wont be having one though as it is massively overpriced
-
good, glad they're too expensive,
just think they've done enough, ripper and burners ok as huge sellers bitd, but enough is enough, as takes away from peeps who have got the originals,
Be nice to see a picky anyway 8)

Thats exactly what i will be doing. To clear up the reissue availability, theres around 100 coming into the uk through the haro distributor and it looks likely they will dock in November. I have an account and have got myself one at staff prices less some persuasion so im gonna break it up and build if as an experiment with better new school parts. Was gonna do some old school parts but frankly thats a bit too cliched me thinks :daumenhoch:
-
love it ....how much ?
-
Great thread with loads of pictures and explanations :LolLolLolLol:
Dom, that's probably the nicest thing to do on such a bike, it doesn't really belong to old school except for the stickers..
-

it looks too long :-\
Haro Freestyler Bike (2009)
It took Haro two years to get this bike out of the vault, but they say it felt like 30. Actually, it was 30. The year was 1978. The rider was Bob Haro. The sport didn’t have a name yet, but the man had a vision. That vision is locked in time by this bike. The Original Freestyler isn’t a retro bike in the purest sense—it features too many modern conveniences to suffer that fate. Instead, the Original Freestyler is a 21st century interpretation of the bike Bob used to get the ball rolling. Old school or old’s cool? You decide. We only know one thing for certain—this Haro Original Freestyler is rad.
# Frame: Throwback Haro Freestyle Design - Crmo Down Tube
# Forks: Crmo Steere - 1-1/8" Threadless Chrome Plated
# Cranks: Haro 3-pc 8-Spline Crmo 175mm Chrome Plated
# Sprocket: 44T
# Freewheel: ACS Mainline 16T
# Bars: Hi-Ten 8" Rise Chrome Plated
# Grips: Haro Mushroom Grips
# Hubs: Skyway Tuff Wheelset
# Rims: Skyway Tuff
# Tyres: Haro MS4 20x2.1
# Seat: Haro H-Crest Saddle
# Seatpost: Steel Post - Chrome Plated
# Pedals: Haro DX Alloy
# Rotor: Winzip Rotor Black
# Colours: Chrome

spec does look poo!!! would all want binning, especially the girly seat... :-\
-
apart from the seat it done look to bad

You feeling ok ?
-
It actually looks better than I thought it would, but there's still something so wrong with it :-\
Bru :daumenhoch:
Is it just me or does the headtube angle look really slack in comparison to the original?
-
21" TT's & a 72° Head angle by the looks of it :P
-
i would push that thing in the nearest hole i could dig.
its crud imo and with all the worlds "available" input
to build probably the most iconic rep ever,they built that ....haro you should pull your own pants down and sit on a hot frying pan.
-
>:( That is truly horrible.An abomination.Ł399 for that?
-
its embarrassing to old school haro.
-
its even worse than the spec that was on the sport release :wtf: :idiot2: :shocked:
-
the only retro bike i feel right on is this pearl 07 quad...
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/ii194/quattro2008/oliverandspike214.jpg)
it was my favourite bike bitd, it might not be everyones cup of tea, but its nice to ride a retro looking bike with a twist of modern technoligy, strong enough (i hope) to take my 16st frame, it would be sacrilidge to start bouncing around on this...
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/ii194/quattro2008/Picture311.jpg)
so my oliver, what do you think of the new freestyler?......
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/ii194/quattro2008/oliverandspike173.jpg)
oh dear me!!!
-
from the mouths of babes....that is shocking...sorry to those thnat think it is ok, but its shite
Dave
-
It looks pants imo... :(
If the frame/forks are light enough (doubt it) i wouldnt mind seeing and trying one with decent new school parts
I wouldnt buy one... :-\
-

Dave
get a grip of yourself, the photo was shot months ago, and this is olivers interpretation of looking cool, only he should have turned his hand round to make a 'V', hope everyone else got this...
-
lol....no i meant the bike you tit....
Dave
-
whoops! sorry! i got the wrong end... :daumenhoch:
-
hi-ten monster from mr perm.
-
lol....no i meant the bike you tit....
Dave
:LolLolLolLol:
-
Cro-mo down tube, how fooking much is that going to weigh :crazy2:
-
i wouldnt mind seeing and trying one with decent new school parts
agreed, think it'll look ok then. Sam ya loon it was obvious Dave was on about the bike :LolLolLolLol: :daumenhoch:
-
sorry!!! :D
it needs gumwall tyres, taller bars and the seat raising would work wonders...
-
sorry!!! :D
it needs wailing on with a sledgehammer, melting down and the designer skullfooked then shot would work wonders...
reading this thread makes me proud ::)
thinking back to that thread a few years ago and now reading folks responses is genuinely reassuring,
cats are giving a shit how N/S bikes are made, where the money goes etc,etc,
props to the fooking lot of you :daumenhoch:
-
i think everyones initial reaction joe was that haro may redeem themselves by making somthing worthy of carrying the freestyler decals, but alas poor yoric, they fooked it right up...imho
Dave
-
:wtf: If your going to remake the most famous bike in freestyle IMO atleast make it 4130 ffs not just the down tube, twats, twats, twats when will they learn ?
-
LOL.
it's haro. it's to be expected ;D
-
Looks sh!t, is sh!t :LolLolLolLol:
-
Must admit, I gave Haro the benefit of the doubt when this project was announced...hey, I even supported it. Hoping that they were really going to do it justice - full cromo, rideable and beautiful.
But no.
It's horrible in every sense.
I feel so let down and a little ashamed that I even considered they may get this one right.
But hey, if it floats your boat then buy one.
-
ill buy one when they are reduced to 100.00 on ebay next year lol#
i much prefer the sport retro but i reckon the frame and forks could be made to look pretty good with the correct bits
-
there is just no reason why this is so wrong, why didnt they just do it exactly the same as the original with stronger steels and welding, just as SE has done with the loopy quad... may look better though in the flesh.
-
It has nothing in common with a gen1 'part from similar stickers, MADNESS and proper UGLY piece of crap too. :daumenhoch:
-
you can tell fat cats have the company now then, this is another raliegh burner moment were dik heads that pull the strings know nowt, and thats what pee'd ne off with the burner, as the just is no excuse.. you never see ferrari making a car look like a jap import.... :rant: :rant: :rant:
-
If it had been a really close copy full chromo frameset it would have sold a shed load....adam01 would have bought 3 at least for his loft to go with his 3 orig gen1's :LolLolLolLol:
-
tbh, if it had been a close copy, i think nearly all us would have bought one, just to cruise around on without worrying we are going to snap it...

I'm with Greg on this one too ;) ;)
-
looks like the original to me
-
the bit that makes me laugh is ,i remember a post and in the haro office a guy was holding
the original set of drawings of the gen1 :uglystupid2:
-
looks like the original to me
Thats because your eyes are full of that GT shit Pete :2funny:
-
GT is to rock as haro is to scissors :)
-
props to the guy that said "get one off ebay when they come cheap" ..thats what i did with my 06 Sport ...changed a few bits and i love it ....do the same with this and jobs a good un ...what was the 06 Sport`s RRP when that came out ? it serves it purpose in the fact that it reminds you of the bike you wanted when you were young...nothing more ....b.i.t.d we got new bikes and changed bits that we wanted to change didn`t we?
