1990 Haro Extreme

24/12/12

these are the original SLR STI's off the haro, they've been sitting in my toolbox whilst i decide what im going to do with them. i was going to tidy them up strip and polish the blades, and get matching shifters. they have a dx on one and a broken alivio looking shifter on the other. they are possibly a bit past it though, might replace them with some levers and thumbies depending on how cheaply i can get them :?

if anyone has any shifters levers or shifter parts they could sell me i may be interested in purchasing... i also need a new cassette

Hopefully this build can be finished by the end january

Could really use some shifters levers and a 26.4mm seatpost. Gone a bit quiet on here :LOL:

Am I the only one thinking the colour just isn't bright enough?

Should be retina burning neon.... :-/

Don't say that! You'll have me stripping it down again and repainting it :LOL: I did find somewhere afterwards that sells a wide range of flourecent holts colours, but I've been wanting to paint a bike yellow for quite a while so I guess now its out of my system... besides I do like the yellow ;)

I think your colour choice is perfect Sean it would suit silver or black comps!

Cheers mate, I do think I got the colour choice right... Its bold and something a bit different from what you usuallysee on here. But without looking cheap and nasty

its been a while since i updated this due to lack of time with xmas and college stuff, but im at home today with a hangover so here we go. heres some pics with a few new bits and bobs on it :D

the tyres are the only modern part of this build so far. they are bontrager connections. In this pic as well is a clue as to what my next rebuild will be ;)

i picked these thumbies up off the road forum, at £15 including delivery they were a steal
