2012 Haro San Diego Dennis Enarson

My first complete new-school ride.

Was on the prowl for something a bit new-school. Got back from vacation(sort of) and spotted this used frame hanging in a local bike shop for a great price. The finish was pretty chipped up but no dents or major damage. So I decided to strip it raw and put a little clear coat on it.
This was mostly an experiment being that it's my first new-school bike. Was a little leary being a taller fellow on a 20.5" tt but I'm finding it quite comfortable. I do mostly flat and street and it feels great for that. Probably helps that the steerer tube on the fork is un-cut, the bars have a decent rise to them and the stem has a 50mm reach.But the weight is taking some getting use too. Being an old/mid-school guy, I'm use to my bikes being a tad on the heavy side. This one clocks in at about 26.5lbs fully loaded. This thing is just too easy to throw around. For riding parks, though, I'll probably snag something with a 21+" tt. I can see where that would have it's advantages.
