Yep just a Master.
The Ground Master was 91 only.
Don't get me wrong I love the 92 Master its just not technically a Ground Master.![]()

Thats like saying the 85 and 86 Master are the same thing.
Both the 91/92 and the 85/86 are 99% the same but that 1% sets them apart.
I love all 4 so it really doesn't matter that much to me......just sayin'. ![]()

Re: What year is the best Haro Master?
I tell ya, I built up my 84, and I don't think I've ridden a nicer riding bike. One thing that struck me, was the weight. It is significantly lighter than any of my other Masters, and geometry feels great.
I agree with Raven, the 87/88 are just built so solid. I don't worry about much on them.
91/92 still always win with functionality.
Most of my stuff will be for sale soon!

Agreed! ![]()

You can see that they simplified the design - but kept all the right aspects from the 87-88 design.
Streamlined - light - and with perfect geometry.

Re: What year is the best Haro Master?
I like not having to put pegs on the rear axle....so personally for me I like the 91 better than the 92.
This post reminds me of Billy Madison with all the conflicting opinions.

I told my doctor I broke my arm in two places...
He told me not to go to those places.

Thanks Cail! I have never ridden an 84' so after I read your post I think I'll build up my first gen 84' brakeless and see what she can do. I'll report back later!
Stay Rad! Dave.
Thanks Matt! I'm going to make it a priority to get to your ride next year, we can thrash the Masters!

Re: What year is the best Haro Master?
Personally,I love the 88 haro master.the steering on the bike is very quick,although i have seen these frames crack at the seat post.I had one that cracked at the seat post. I have been lucky to find another one in near mint condition almost 20 yrs. later.

Does anyone know if the 85/86's share the same geometry as the 84's?
