Thanks for the feedback chaps...I don't know what it is that's bothering me with this build... I'm just not happy with it. I was thinking perhaps silver pedals and a blue seat might help? Or, like you say Ruler, black grips, seat and loose the frame pad? Or sell it and buy another mid-school?

Dunno.

Yep - I know they are a couple of years too late for it, but I don't want to spend any more money...  :(   They are probably one of the reasons I'm not that keen on it.

not sure if I like it or not

What's not to like, it looks pretty damn fine. Maybe a blue seat, if you have one you cold pinch off another bike, then try it for looks. If you haven't and want to borrow one LMK. Sure I have a Kashi Aero and MX kicking around.

Nice build, I think either white grips or blue seat would help it IMO.

Loving the powerglide cables though  :daumenhoch:

Post by: Rombloke on July 04, 2006, 05:43 PM

dave, without even reading the other posts (only cos what they say doesnt matter) its more or less my old 85 master, including the kneesavers....that is the only thing i would change out.....you know it makes sense...nice pair of white freestyle bars is what you want.....go on....

Dave

Yep, would agree with that... I pulled the Kneesavers from my parts bin in a vain hope that they would do... clearly not as thats why I'm a bit disappointed with it!

Thanks for all the feedback guys - much appreciated!

Okay Chaps - thanks to the fantastically brilliant Sanmarcopizza (Sandro) - I now have a lovely blue seat on the Haro. So what do you think now? Any better?

Cheers
