Stickered up

Got the decals on the Haro today... Really happy with the look!

Colour Match

I'm more than happy with the colour matching done to an original 1986 Haro Blue. My restored stem cap beside the original stem cap :-)

Primed!

Ready for paint

The Haro Master is looking a bit naked... 

Blue Font Dominator

Needless to say, I've been looking for a long time for a tidy blue font Dominator for my ongoing '86 Master build.

I'd planned to use a white repop Viscount Dominator in the meantime. Since they weren't exactly expensive, I figure I'd have a go as redoing the gold text to blue myself.

The gold letter comes off with a little acetone in a matter of seconds:

Then I got this from a model shop. Clear Blue paint:

A steady hand:

Job done:

Haro Master: All packed up!

Packed up...

And hopefully it will come back looking a little something like this :)

More Action Zone Bars

I managed to pick up a section set of Action Zone bars, so these will be heading on to the Haro once I get it powder coated. These will be done in Haro blue to match the Haro Master once it's finished.... whenever that happens :)

Haro logo resto

The white Haro tyres had the logo badly faded/washed out so I took a try at touching it up with a Sharpie.

A bit better at least :)

30th Anniversary Haro Freestyler #272

"30 Years of Freestyle"

Just paid for my 30th Anniversary Haro Freestyler. So at least one of the 300 made  (#272/300)  is on it's way to Sweden. I heard there's a couple of more guys here that had there name down for one, but havent heard if they completed yet. (There's a 48 hour window to go for it)

It's going to make a rather cool Xmas present to myself and with the arrival of my first child in January I imagine the BMX related spending will quite quickly be put on hold for the next 18-20 years :)

I imagine most of these will never be built up, let alone ridden in anger... still unsure what to do with #272.

Haro Elbow pads

Picked up another set of Haro Tech series elbow pads...

This time in Red... NOS again :)

RL Edge hub

I really would like an RL Edge hub... they look quite funky and a free coaster is always nice to have.

In anycase here's the Mechanics Guide for the RL Edge

Odyssey Gyro with Hatta MX-10

I'd heard but (not seen) that the Hatta MX-10 and a Gyro wasn't possible. However I tried the combination and everything seems fine :-)

Paint measurements

10 cm of paint from the leadin edge of the seat post:

Green Gen 1 Odyssey Gyro Cables

Nice to get a set of green first generation Odyssey Gyro cables... At least there are 3 lowers and 1 upper :-)

Haro build

Just built up the Haro tonight just to see how it will look when it's finished.

 

The problem now is that I don't know whether to go for another restoration job or keep it survivor....
