1985 Haro Master
1985 Haro Master
My early 86' Master I had as a kid that I restored to a Green 85. Serial 8512XXXX
I had this bike in Ohio, then moved to Florida where I didn't ride it much. I left it in the garage for probably 6 years at my dad's house who lives on the beach. The rust got to it so after about 2 years of wanting to do something with it I finally sent it off to Chip at c4 and determined the pitting was too bad in the rear to re-chrome it and make it back or it's half chrome/white scheme that it used to be. I went with a solid color and of course, chose envy green! I salvaged some of the old parts and also got some new parts, mainly sealed bearing tuffs and new redline flight cranks because I was definitely going to be riding it!
I'm to the point now where the bike only needs a few minor things, like the potts bolt re-chromed and the nippon quick releases have a bit of rust on them still. Other than that, I walk the dog with this bad boy. Here is a breakdown of the parts.
* Frame: Original early 86 Haro master
* Fork: 85 (bought from Chip, original's had the lower stander holes)
* Standers: 85 standers
* Bars: true 85' ANLUN stamped 4130
* Stem: Original 86 Group1 powdered green
* Headset: Bear Trap (Also have a NOS MX-10 in the box for it)
* Levers: Blue locking tech 6 w/ green skins
* Cables: porkchop, blue
* Grips: AME rounders
* Seat: Repop Dominator (looking for a nice black/blue font one)
* Post: Nitto layback (find on ebay, pretty close size & bend to the original ANLUN)
* Clamp: Original diacompe blue hinged MX
* Calipers: Original anno blue Nippons with new Weinmann Adjusters
* Crank/BB: new sealed bearing redline flight
* Chainring: Suntour Mounted, but also have a NOS Sugino
* Spider: Sugino
* Chain: NOS Izumi
* Pedals: Original MKS Graphite
* Wheels: New sealed bearing Tuff II's
* Tires: Kenda K55's that are nearly identical to Panaracers

Re: 1985 Haro Master
Thanks - it sure is a smooth ride. I'm glad I decided to spend the coin and bring it back from the dead! Check out the before pics:

Deciding which way I want to go with the color scheme (seat, tires, grips, etc.) - before I had the bike shop install the crank...

Re: 1985 Haro Master
Nice save! Came out great. I bet the memories came flooding back when you rode it for the first time after the restore.

Re: 1985 Haro Master
I swapped the mags out for some Bombshell's I had laying around for another project. I also changed the pedals to some anno blue ones from porkchop. Absolutely awesome! My favorite bike by far. The blue/green is perfect and the wheels spin FOREVER ![]()
