2006 Haro Sport

HARO RETRO SPORT #70

Bought this with a little help with Shawn O letting me know about a guy in Minnesota who still had it in the box. Absolutely solid bike and nice job on the retro design. Only thing I changed was the padded seat. Just didnt look right.

Is the bottom bracket the American size like the old school bikes? It's hard to tell in the pictures.

This is a cool retro bike, more companies should follow Haro's lead and issue retro bikes. I think most of the new school bikes look the same but this Sport stands out with the top tube platform and the half paint/half chrome, not to mention the 88 color/decal scheme.

If I decide to get a new school bike this will be the one I get.

Nice ride, I like the seat 07CARRERA. I gave mine a bit of a tweak a while back. Put Haro Mirra bars on it, a set of skin walls from AJK, and paint/decals on the bars & seat post. Just wanted to make it a little bit different from the others on here. I bet you have a paint scratch mark on the inside of your bars, apparently they all have it.

Bottom bracket is a little smaller on this bike as opposed to my 86-88's. I too like the way the top tube looks. It's much thicker than my 86-87 Sports.

No paint scratch on my bars

Your Sport looks good with the black Dominator seat! Do you plan on putting any more old school parts on it?

I'm probably going to throw some Haro decals on the handlebars and that's about it. I love the way it rides currently and putting on "old school" tires would affect that.
