All things considered that's an odd collection. I take it it's not his complete stash. Either that or he didn't keep the best bits.

a while ago i spoke to bob, emailed him a few shots of my replica for his approval, he told me that he had kept no hardware(frames etc) but a few bits and pieces, so i guess thats the extent of his collection, shame, after all his bike would have been the best haro replica out there...lol

way back I think in 82, Bob Haro had a show in Cologne, Germany and friend of my Andy Tittman, a racer, bought Bob's bike for about $150 (complete). Unfortunately he sold to someone else years later.  :'(. Must still somewhere in Germany.
