Title: '85 Haro Master 24" CRUISER! Check This Out!
Post by: Dansharos on September 13, 2008, 02:27 AM

I have been waiting a long time for this to finally come together and here it is!  A '85 Haro Master 24" Cruiser!  This was my idea and Chip at C4 Labs pulled off the fabrication!  He began with a damaged '85 Master frame.  From there he extended the chainstays 2 inches, replaced the seatmast with a higher one, extended the rear of the top tubes where the seatmast gusset is 2 inches, moved the rear cable guide back, and replaced and extended the downtube!!!  The forks are actually '86 forks because we decided the pegs on the '85 forks would be too high.  The forks have also been extended 2 inches.  The bars have been cut down to resemble cruiser bars.  The rest of the parts are stock '85 Master except the new Skyway Tuff 24"s and tires.  Enjoy!  Oh, by the way, I am gonna ride this baby!

sweeeeeeeeet dan very nice and great to see a busted frame get some thought and now well usable
rather than just another repaired haro a little twist to the idea is great in my book.

Useless as useless can be... rear standing platforms on a 24" ? and front pegs...  ::)

....but I LOVE this thing, one more perfect build to your credit Dan  :daumenhoch:
Would love to take a ride on such a machine, must be quite a strange feeling.

You got my vote if you enter it in the BOTM  ;)
