Haro Master (Gen 3) Project
Kaner:
It's all Mick's fault that I'm doing this project. We had a chat about Gen 2 Masters on the London ride and that was it, I had to get another Haro. I had a Gen 3 before but did a trade deal and I went. So another Gen 3 it is.
After a few PM's I picked up a well used Gen 3 from Swivel.
The FF has been used up until the late 90's for flatland and has had lugs welded on the rear tubes for brake mounts. It had a hydraulic brake on the forks, it was quite a beast!
It has some metal repairs that need to be put it right and Swazall is very kindly going to undertake these.
Here is how it arrived:
I gave it the Starchem Synstrip treatment, bloody hell that stuff is strong, by the time I had coated half the Frame the paint was melting off, smells great but stings like a mother if you get it on your skin like I did!
This was the paint melting off:
And here it is stripped, I didn't do a meticulous job on it as I had limited time and just needed to see if there were any other repairs needed before it goes to see Phil.
So the repairs list Phil is going to do is:
1/ Removal of the lugs and smoothing of the tubes.
2/ Repair to the LHS top tube where there is a small flat.
3/ Close the drops on the forks as they have been bent out a little.
4/ Ding, you can see a small ding about 2 1/2 inches down from the gusset plate, it's only small but will be noticeable once painted, I don't know what repair Phil could do on this? Perhaps a weld over the top and then smooth it down flat?
It's going to take a while as I can't afford to do all the work in one go, so there will be a delay (have wait till I have been paid next month) to have SBD powder it and decals from Del.
TORKER mick:
dont blame me >:D :LolLolLolLol: that's going to look great :daumenhoch: whats your parts list?
Kaner:
Not entirely sure yet Mick.
Oakley .5s and Elina Lightening bolt seat, OPC and DXs, black brute stem and probably some random freestyle bars I have already. I want to add some colour with the brakes and power disk. Maybe some white Zeds too?
I'm going to have to put up with some temporary parts until I can fund the parts I want. Long term project.
AKGOFF:
You can't use the .5s because they are mine. :LolLolLolLol:
