iDp you HAVE to build that bike. It is your destiny. Don't turn your back on the old school.
I would love to see the pics. Hook it up.
Finding parts is pretty easy through ebay and a few collectors that I know. But the really good parts and the NOS ones are kinda tough if you're picky like I was. But it's worth it. I stare at that bike every day now.

Ah man!!!!
Those were the days, I used
to have red tuff II's on my Skyway. I remember that oval tubing well.++

Are you gonna ride it, or just hang it on the wall? Looks sweet, very jealous.

I'll roll around on it a bit but nothing crazy. I don't want to mess it up. Took too long and too much money.

hehe yeah im actually looking into parts now...I'll toss you some pictures this weekend. It's funny because when I was in grade school we used to go on tours at the Skyway plant...I remember watching them make those wheels.

That is a great project! Excellent work.
My mom sold my 1985 Haro Master I was "storing" in their basement at a yard sale! Someone walked away with that for $35 CAD.

I remember my first real racer...I had a Redline....something...but my first Frestyler was the Redline RL-1...with those funky Peregrine wheels...the Grand-daddy was my Haro Master....back in the day when a low level bike was about $400...now I see Mongoose at WalMart and Target for under $70....insane

bedenken...man I feel your pain. My parents threw out ALL of my MINT condition Freestylin' magazines. I had every issue. If they weren't my parents I would have stabbed them to death.
- bedenken0
My issues of Freestylin' are gone too. I know the first issue I had was November 1986 with Eddie Fiola on the cover. I had every issue there after. All gone... my youth... lost forever.
My parents on the other hand, don't miss the mini-ramp in the back yard at all!

Any Club Home Boy members?
- Tyrone0
I still have my club homeboy membership card.

tyrone has a VW microbus covered in club homeboy stickers that he cruises around the east coast with ceppie maes and mark lewman.

Oh man... Club Homeboy. Too funny. I used to call up Andy Jenkins and he'd send ship me stuff way up here in Canada. I'd sell it in my school. Too funny.

Ron Wilkerson gave us the halfpipe from the South Hampton King of Vert Contest back in the day, 89? It was hugh and came apart. They delivered it to my brother in laws house. It was supposed to be temp but they never came back for it.

bedenken is hebrew, right?

Me back in the day, doing the decade and flexing with the haro shirt and gloves. Also you can see the 2hip ramp in the background, my friend rolling off it on the skateboard. it was in pieces.
