not sure if they got them yet.
-
contact wolfybmx on here. i and few others have one on order

I have a Sport on order from Wolfy and contacted he him a few weeks back, here's his response. I expect they should arrive end of April or in May :D
hi mate the haro sports are on their way but haro have delayed the uk delivery. as mentioned before there are only 250 of these coming in to the uk. i keep checking with haro weekly for delivery updates but still tba on uk delivery. a pain i know but worth waiting for.
I wasn't aware the 3 main tube are cro-mo only, but for £250 I suppose you can't argue, should be a decent bike ramp riding though. Cheers
-
me too. we'll be the blue bike team.
-
Yeah, I reckon I will be one of a handful of people with one of these Haro's in Scotland. Lucky me! :coolsmiley:
-

Dave, I read a really long post on Vintagebmx about this and even emailed Haro Bikes to ask the question, but all I got was the following:
"Marty,
At this time I can not confirm if Haro will make a retro series model bike for 2007. If Haro was to make another retro Freestyler for 2007, we would import it to the UK.
Regards,
Wayne Doran

So who knows what they'll be doing! :daumenhoch:

Just read today's update on VBMX, I'm sure TeamTotal won't mind me quoting him on here
Hey, quick update on the Gen One re-issue.
Spoke with 'the man' the other night & he was saying that the drawings for the bike were more or less completed, full cromo, front & rear lugs (rear lugs on chainstays) with internal headset. Whole bike will be chrome, frame, forks, bars, wheels. Wheels will probaly be built on low flange chrome hubs similar to the old Suzue one's but I'll get a confirmation on that for you. Its going to be a good mix of old & new, I know the whole of Haro are super phsyched on it.
Yes please :daumenhoch:
-
sounds good....
-
what does the 06 sport look like?
-
2006 Sport (http://www.harobikes.com/bmx/sport.php) :daumenhoch:
-
christ it weighs 33 pounds
-
33.5 actually, and its one of the lightest in that range...even the mirra pro is 35 i think..
-
could be lighter
drill the frame a bit :)
-
That's mine...
He's very good for ramp riding... a bit less for flat...
He's very beautiful but a little bit heavy... it's for that reason have changed seatpost, rims, tires and pegs (Pegs Hoffman SPC alloy 153gr for a pair :daumenhoch: )

-
