Need Help from the Haro Experts......

[plankowner]

A co-worker's wife does the whole storage locker auction buying thing much like storage wars. In one of her locker wins was this bike. She apparently tried to flip it on Craigslist for $50.00, then $30.00 with no takers. He brought it in to work and gave it to me knowing I'm into BMX bikes. So for the cool price of free, I have this enigma on my hands. I' have searched the internet, (the museum and vintagebmx mostly) and can find no info on this model Haro. My local BMX group have no answers on this one. Any Haro experts here of BMX guys that know anything about this one?

Looks like a very low end haro made 4 children.....cheap parts never good when u got a chain guard tap on it! nothing worth more then $20...

I would have to agree with yearz Its a rather low end department store haro. Around my area its a $30 bike if it rides good.

Yeah it's about 1992-94ish, and was an entry level bmx, sold at around 125 to 150$

Update: A buddy of mine in Richmond sent me a PDF of the 1994 Haro Catalog. It's listed in the catalog as an entry level BMX, one step above their lowest offering of the day. Oddly, a year or two earlier, the same bike with the addition of a welded gusset on the seat stays was Haro's Group 2 entry level race complete. Must not have done well then either because the Group 2 doesn't appear to have been offered for very long. The general consensus is the the sum of the small parts is worth more than the bike as a whole. But that's of no concern to me as I view it as an interesting piece from the dark days of Haro. It'll hang around the garage as a conversation piece.
