Title: Found my old bike from 20 years ago!!!!
Post by: Nigelb on April 19, 2011, 09:53 PM: I sold this bike in the early 90's i was gutted after i sold it.Then just before christmas some bloke came up to me in the pub and asked if i use to own a bmx when i told him i did he said that i might have sold him a Haro sport and that he still had it in his shed and this is how i got it back.

Post by: sid1972 on April 19, 2011, 10:13 PM: what are them cranks worth?

Post by: Nigelb on April 19, 2011, 10:19 PM: The bike didn't cost me anything which is a good job as it is going to cost me a fooking fortune to put it right.

How much Haro forks go for on a Gen 3 1984 sport.
