Title: help wanted with ist gen haro
Post by: splits*lambrettas on August 26, 2006, 08:59 AM: want the original spec for an 83 haro freestyler so i can start to search for parts.

Post by: Mattdub on August 26, 2006, 03:49 PM: Chrome jobs range from approx £70 - £250 . It depends how much you personally value the bike & if you're going to ride it or not ?. For instance I would go high end on a possible show bike but around £100 - £150 on anything else , I personally would'nt go real cheap .

You get what you pay for :daumenhoch:

Post by: splits*lambrettas on August 27, 2006, 04:30 PM: yup

thats the one
Title: Re: help wanted with ist gen haro
Post by: Sanmarcopizza on August 27, 2006, 05:12 PM: Looks like Redline Flight 401 cranks & chainwheel. Graphite Skyway Tuffs, Haro Vector bars, Diacompe MX 1000 brakes, can't see if they are Tech 3 or 4 levers, Shotgun II Seat (?) and some kind of Rat Trap pedals. Got a spare grand lying around ? LOL
Title: Re: help wanted with ist gen haro
Post by: CD17 on August 27, 2006, 09:37 PM: Yeah I think they are Tech 3's & yep, your going to need big money for the rest of those parts, def for the Tuff's & Flight's.
But that would be a top build :daumenhoch:
Title: Re: help wanted with ist gen haro
Post by: splits*lambrettas on August 27, 2006, 10:35 PM: i have got the tuffs already came with the bike. but its running an odysey crank and haro knee saver bars
mx brakes. but all needs renewing
Title: Re: help wanted with ist gen haro
Post by: slowpoke24 on August 27, 2006, 11:20 PM: Also not forgeting the grips (grab on's) if memory serves me correct someone paid a £100 - £130 for a set not so long back. :shocked:

Your gonna need patience and a good bank manager if you want top spec but it would be a special build.

Good luck with it,it will :4_17_5: once it's finished.

Like above but the other stuff you could sell or trade for sure.

Re: graphites - the more available alloy hubbed skyways probably a better/cheaper option and they still look great IMO.
