With all the hype and being a "Limited Edition", people will buy it for the sake of collecting it.

He'll be making a new unique evolutionary bike.  Kinda like Apple that makes everyone at every age level wanting their products.

Apple says its Resolutionary, IKONIX says its Evolutionary. 

Or this

Its going to be a disappointment for ns and os.

I don't care what Haro sells, I would NOT buy any classic reissue stuff from them till they stop attacking the classic BMX/Freestyle community.  I think what they did to AJK bikes is a kick in the teeth to us all.

Boo to them for protecting what's theirs.

youre right.... the world should just be a free for all, YOU bust your butt to create a product then market it and get it global.... then ill just come in and copy it and make money off your work. makes perfect sense

I think both sides have a good argument. crownrox it's not like AJK was repoducing anything Haro was offering. Nothing from any current line of bikes. Haro, or whoever owns them, doesn't see the need to spend the dough to make a few hundered sets of decals a year, so some old guy can relive his childhood. why would they. It's a lot of work with little gain. Nobody repoping decals is ever going to get rich off of it.

But you do have a point. It is there name. But the above statement just show, that doing the right thing for the company, might not be good for business.


Now where's my Ikonix spy photo?

I'm totally excited about this   Which is odd, since I am not a Haro guy.  Though, I think it will wind up being something retro...which would suck.

I bet it’ll most likely be made in Asia, which is very sad  ... I would be very ( happily ) surprised if Bob Haro chose to manufacture the Bike and parts in the US, but he, like all of us just gotta have mo money.

My 2nd point is not much you can do to a Bike anymore. Until the day comes when Cars can fly like in " Fifth Element ", bikes, like cars, like motorcycles will pretty much remain the same.  It's a money thing - I truly believe that. Bob is at the age where do it now or never, and he's prolly got Fat Cat Investors looking for a big pay day, so he's taking advantage of his name and what his legacy was, and he’s using that to make some coin before he officially retires.

Doesnt matter where it's made as long as good quality control is along for the ride....thats whats making Taiwanese bikes good...QC...chinese bike manufacturers need to get decent qc and then they will be right where Taiwan is now...wasnt that long ago that Taiwan was where China is today...and before them it was Japan and look at them now....

Bob if your reading this go for it and do it well like you always did!
