Haro SR-71

[Benis]

There's a magnesium SR-71 frame with fork, bars, and seat on evilBay for$4999. That is madness

Lmfao there is no such thing as a magnesium SR71. Dude is either straight up lying, or has no idea what he's taking about

Lotsa "no such thing" bikes out there.

Haro and others built/attempted quite a few factory bikes from magnesium back in the crazy days of design. We're talking one and done specialty applications

There's no such thing as a magnesium SR71. Dude is either knowingly a lying sack of .... trying to get several thousand dollars for what was a $500 frame. Or he is just innocently ignorant and has no idea what he's talking about

Yeah...............you already made your opinion known

Twice, both times with no provenance or data to back their opinion.

Maybe it's Bob Haro under a psuedonym? I doubt it though because on the occasion I met him he did not seem anything beyond a cool person and an artist who digs bikes.

I've spent a minute searching for any info anywhere regarding a magnesium SR 71. That one linked above is the only shred I can find anywhere.

???

Anything from the factory is possible. An example would be that John Tomac has the only magnesium frame of his left as all others were destroyed

Unless someone pops in here that happens to have been the former brand manager for the race teams for that particular year that can dispute this I can only assume it's correct. # not a lawyer # internet expert

If'n y'all would like our anonymous nihilist proven correct or incorrect, I may be able to do some digging and find out if there were some team bikes made in magnesium.

Its the lighter' tank! =D

If true it would be a nice piece of trivia.

 

[ifitsfreeitsforme]

Someone tell me if I like this bike or not. I'm conflicted.

 

[RustyGold]

I don't...but then, I don't like Haro in general .

Ride it as it was intended, it will tell you

When I get the owner over to the pump track, I'll give my 2c on the ride. Just spinning it up and down the street, it felt pretty nimble.
