ok...... i recently ran into my friend lars tribus who was a pro DH mtn biker for quite a while.....

well, it seems he is now the president of HCBMX.org a race track in flemington NJ.

they are interested in doing an old school event (swap, show and race) at their fall classic race.


gauging any interest at this point.

bp

so...... there i am at a graduation party for a friends son and the text comes through "i can get an older haro, are you interested?" my response, maybe..... got pics?

well, the day goes with texts and no pics, we go to another party for friends that are moving to new mexico (i dont know how you army guys can move around all the time BTW) and the pics come through.....

i make an offer, it gets countered.... by now my friend gets the owner of the bike in touch with me and we work a price......

now we need to work a transaction, the bike is about 3 hours from me..... well, we work that out as my buddy who initially found this for me rides DH mtn bikes with me and lives near this guy...... cool

deal made, check sent, bike finally delivered

early 86 haro master, all OG except the rear tire, tapered bars, early locking tech 5 levers, DC seatclamp, reflectors! interestingly, it came with a blue dominator that supposedly came stock, i thought they all have white seats.

these are the bike in un-cleaned mode

be safe and enjoy whatever you are doing these next few days!

ok, i jumped in and got myself a new school ride.

i got back into riding and did alot of DH mtn biking this year, got my son into it and my wife tore her ACL doing it also. well, ive had a 16" dk for my son to take to the local skatepark and though bringing the old school bike there was cool, i feel a bit limited when i ride it.

ive been told by alot of people to get a new school bike and once i adjusted i would really like it so i contacted my friend ralph who is the owner of animal bikes www.animalbikes.com (they have flowed stuff for society events)and i knew they were awaiting their new frames.

well, after the first batch of frames were all pre sold, i called one of the skavenger tunnel frames in 20.5. next step was to aquire parts.... well, ralph came through again and i was able to get just about the whole bike with animal components (except brakes and chain)..... once they had enough stock in the warehouse (they sell out of stuff fast there) ralph got scott (another friend) on board and scott contacted me about what i had in mind as a bike.......

first thing i needed was front brakes, i am still old school and brakeless or only rear brakes are out of the question for me, i had the option to get different forks, then scott had contacted spooky dave at FBM and they welded a set of 990 mounts to a set of animal forks. i had then looked at what they offer and what colors they had. gave scott a list of what i wanted and how i wanted it set-up, a few phone calls back and forth and this is what was delivered to me at work by them this past wednesday.

i am totalled stoked on this, a simple ride in the hood and it feels small, but super tight and kinda comfortable, i do need to work on the front brake a bit more and am going to change out the chain, but here it is as i first got it.

im calling it my skavimal bike and when i told that to ralph he liked that term, who knows... maybe they will have a custom shop

its got tapered and aero tubing, extremely nice welds and sweet paint, the components are top notch, i cant say enough about this ride.....
