Title: Can Anybody Identify what model this Haro is???
Post by: retrohippy on June 11, 2009, 07:30 PM: This has been sat in my nans house for many years!!!
Everybody totally forgot about it and when they were clearing out there garden they came across it to my delight!! :)
I cant remember when i owned this nor can i remember whether i got it brand new or second hand so have no idea of age, costs or model?
I have done a bit of looking into it today but i can find a few models of haro's that all look simiar????
The bottom bit of the frame which im guessing is the basher plate is what gives it away but there are still a few models that look the same/similar?
Has a few cool bits on it like freak factory 3 peice crank and other odds and sods but snapped handle bars!! :(
Will be looking to either sell, restore or break it!!
There is a frame number on the 3rd pic if that helps to identify????

Thanks guys, appreciated as always!! ;)

They were a low end model with a cromo seattube, high tensile used for the rest of the tubing, can't really make out the serial number in the pic. Would look pretty cool done up, looks like a fair bit of work though!

Heavy as too! Think a few companies have used the same cranks and had their name stamped on them over the years...

Post by: Lazarou on June 11, 2009, 11:10 PM: In fact anything made by Freak Factory should be seriously avoided!

I'm not a brand snob ( I am a bit ) but the stuff is just generic cack and I would hate to see someone pay money for any of it.

:LolLolLolLol:

and you know me Laz, can't resist something sh1te. :LolLolLolLol:

I'm guessing freak factory didn't "make" much at all just took stuff that was churned out in large numbers and put thier stickers on.

Post by: retrohippy on June 12, 2009, 09:59 AM: Thanks for all the reply's chaps, couldn't make out whether it was a sport, a basher or even a few other models all looked similar!!!
Opinions more than welcome but i would say that i fecking love freak factory stuff, had loads on a mongoose in the past and even on burners and stuff and never let me down as a nipper/growing up!!!!
Each to there own tho ay!!! ;)
Shame its such a late model, im sure i bought it pre 95!!!??? Guess not then!! :)

Post by: fugazi on June 12, 2009, 06:25 PM: Put up the serial number, can't see it in the pics :daumenhoch: Seems there was a basher in the '96 line up.
