I was lucky enough to own a 1983 Haro Sport freestyle, it was white with the white mag rims. I am 53 now and my whole life I have thought about that bike that I greatly miss. I got it at 13 and rode it every day until I was 15 when I got my driver's license and a white chevy step side. We moved away from that home when I was 17 and the bike was left laying in overgrown grass. Boy I had no idea what I really had back then when I was a dumb kid.
Man this story almost brings a tear to my eye….
PB Blaster melts rust instantly.
I had an FSX. I put peregrine 3 piece crank, rl edge 48s, pitbull in the rear, boa up front, haro fusion pedals, haro kneesaver bars, gt pegs. I loved that bike
Oh God, it's beautiful! I just bought 2022 Sky Way 80's Replica, so happy. This is absolutely amazing!!!! Tuffs just let BMX bikes off, I don't care what anyone says! No knock offs, light blue Sky Way or nothing.
I wanted Peregrines but they are outta control so I went with the copies
Mine was identical but with white mag rims. Thing was a tank! I got hit by a truck when I played frogged. And I lived!
I'm not really a big bike guy but watching you restore that haro reminds me of the redline GT I had when I was a young teenager. Also because of you I'm getting my diamond back mountain bike restored at my local bike shop so my wife and I can ride old people style😊😊
Good deal brother 👌
I love bikes and audio! I miss my Hoffman Sugar Baby! Custom! Haro parts from a Dave Mira pro! Man. Awesome build.
Man I had this bike back in 87' my brother had the FST thanks for the memories. Incredible build 😭🤙
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I own and restored a 87 FST. I redid mine to resemble the 86 in white because I liked the more classic look. The geometry is a blast! I really love to ride it! Fun stuff!
Awesome 👏
Awesome build im glad you kept the frame original
It looks a bit off with all the new parts, but original is important
Nice bike! Takes you right back to the 80's. I feel my mullet growing in as I watch this. Oh wait, no that's my neck fat.😔
Ha ha!
There's this stuff I tried at work called "barkeepers friend" it cleaned aluminum extremely well. I digress the chain ring looked great when you were finished. Piecing a bike together is expensive and so time consuming! Beautiful bike though. Looks gr8
👌😬👍
Beautiful HARO brother.
I always wanted the SPORT.
Awesome. I had an 87 FST. Green. I put white skyways on it and the gyro braking system. So RAD. This brings back memories. Stuff I forgot about like the mushroom grips! We used gasoline to put them on. Well. We were 12 years old in the 1980s so we pretty much used gasoline for everything!
Yeah man ODI still makes the Mushroom grips in the USA, crazy!
👌😬👍
Hells yes I just got back in to biking myself and picked up a 2013 GT performer junk food . That's a bad ass bike homie
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I used to freestyle on a haro. Ack in the 80s in Coachella valley Memories im 48 now still ride now on a 29 bike😀
Yeah the 20” bikes are WAY too small for me
Wow, my old frame! Was my second frame, had the turquoise/black version, only of its kind in Jamaica. Bent the handle, stem, forks, broke the mags, many cranks. But the actual frame took all the abuse and never failed. (Cracked the Dyno in 2 places). The GTs and Dynos felt soo short while this Haro felt perfect for jumping and street. Ended up running kneesavers, Hoffman super forks and 48s. Wasn't too into flatland. Progress lead me to the S&M Dirt bike. Sorry I gave away my FSX frame, had many great years on it. Very nice build, beautiful bike.
👌😬👍
Who didn’t use hairspray for their grips is the better question! Aqua net worked the best. That bike is 😍😍
Yeah whatever was available at the dolla sto
Love it, i think a black front tire would look dope
I thought about black front mag and tire!
Awesome,I'm 55,back in the 80's I'd try it bmx,I still have an original 83 mongoose californian and I'm gonna fix it nice like back then..!
👌😬👍
Very nice bike bro just a classic bike👍👍👍
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Man u can't even imagine how many of those one piece cranks I've damn near folded in half back in the day! Changed em atleast once a week even. My first 3 piece crank was like an epiphany!
😲
Nice restoration turned out well. Love old Haros
Dish soap for grip installation works good as well. After it dries, the grips stay put.
Great work!!!
Super fresh!!!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
That turned out sick.
Thanks!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
That’s sweet. Love it.
Have a Haro Mirra flair. Chocolate. I need to clean up as well.
Awesome bike
Wood bleech works for rusted steel parts. You can get it at home center stores for round 10 bucks, you need 2 of them to treat a big tub full of water. You could do a whole bike minus the frame for 20 bucks. Let it soak for a couple days and the rust is gone.
Looks great, man! I am in the process of putting together an 88 Master and a 87 Sport.
Big d, what a sick Haro. Job well done.
Thanks brother 🤙
I had a 1991 FSX. .It came with 6 spoke skyways. I replaced them with 48 R.L Edge's
Super nice!
Awesome build.
Thanks for watching and commenting!

Looks good great job

No vayas a raspar el auto azul por favor! 🙏🏻 Excelente BMX
That's a sweet build. My buddy had one of those back in the day it was the coolest bike on the block. Only thing I would have done different would have been the handle grips, those ones always made my hands feel tingly or like they're falling asleep after a while.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Dude that came out looking really nice.
Thanks brother!
Yeah boi!
I just found and rebuilt a 2004 haro Nyquist R24.... Found some araya special edition Japan rims with redline flip flop hubs to slap on it. Need some paint but runs pretty good for almost 20 years old. Thanks for sharing your bike build. Awesome bike.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Hutch is bringing back their OG frames...I am making my build sheet as we speak...so exited to build a Hutch!!
Yessir. I missed the 24" Trickstar they released a couple of years ago. Still kicking myself...
Que muy chingona la bicicleta ,saludos desde México 🇲🇽👋👍
Bike is killer man. Only the mags kook like a department store mag! I would have did a nice Skyway tuff mag. But hey it's yours and it's badass 😎
I was going for the Peregrine mag look from around 1986 👌
The way you mounted the tires was too cool!😂 The final product looks really good!💯
Borrowed that from Harvester Bikes! I love watching their builds
It’s like magical
I would sooner have this than a Soundwave any day, i couldn't understand if a young kid or teenager said its not as cool as a Sunday Soundwave. I would be baffled 🤔 awesome bike 💯👍😊
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Schweeeeeet build!
Thanks man!
👌😬👍
Dia compe Mx 1000 brakes , black in front , white in back , Cw drain pipe seat post . And lower the damn seat post ! It’s a rider . Rip that shit bro … still a dope build !!!
I have a drain pipe seatpost and almost put it on. I'm a big boi so having the seatpost up high is necessity, lol
I’m too big for this bike 🤦♂️
@@wal2 never too big brother !!
Vinegar removes rust well. Also molasses
Love it man 👌 I actually considered awhile ago to do resto's on bmx's
Same goes for old motorbikes 🍳
It’s really fun. I did dirt bikes back in the 90’s. We’d buy non working ones, fix them up and sell for profit. Fun times
Sweet ass bike bro
That's sweet.💥💥💪💪
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Great video big d the bike turned out awesome reminds of back in the day when I had a few bmx bikes myself. I remember I got this gt Dyno had got it for payment for mowing this guy's yard it was a basket case but it was all there.After getting it put together it was the best bike in the trailer park that thing took everything thing I put it through until one summer it got stolen. That's one bike I would like to get another one of hopefully some day . Well take care brother God bless you and your family peace out .
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Nice!!
i didnt realize this was even big d whiz till i saw the back of your head and the blue hot rod love the bike i used the same odyssey brake set on my laserlite build as there cheap will upgrade to Dia Compe mx1000 in the near future ride
on im outta heeeeeeeeeeere
Geeeesuhs that’s dope
👌😬👍
I never had a Haro. I had a Redline, GT Dyno, BMX Mongoose, GT Performer and a few others. Nice looking bike. BTW, I now own a Haro MTB tho…
👌😬👍
Love it 👌🏽
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Bad ass build man 😎👌
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Cool man!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Woulda gone black pedals, white seat, and white grips. All of the different blues clash but the mags go with the decals perfectly!
I noticed that as well. And I thought the same. Maybe I’ll try this and see how it looks. I did find some lighter blue grips that match better
Put a Black laid back graphite seat post on it and a redline 3pc crank set then it's ready 😎 😜 it does look sweet
Thanks for the feedback 👌
Nice job bro I m building a 1983 peugeot cpx 200 bmx.
Awesome 👏
Nice bike Man! 👏👏🤟✌️🇧🇷🚴
👌😬👍
In the UK, we call those wheels "shatter mags". There's a reason they cost a third of the price of Tuff IIs. Apart from that, lovely build. Especially like the colour combinations.
Oh man thanks for the warning 😮
Not bad,she came back to life. I would have put knee saver bars on,those can be hard to find sometimes,they run out quick after restock.
I have those on my 2017 Sport (1987 reissue)
Awesome
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Love the colours looks great, I would get some Skyways though bud. But that’s just me.
👌😬👍
สวยงามมากครับ
Great job, fun video. How has the stem held? It had a lot of bad reviews online and inside the box says not made for freestyle use. 😮 I have one and will install as part of an 87 Haro sport build. Curious on your experience with it so far
Love it
👌😬👍
I used to put on grips with spray paint. Little harder to clean up than hairspray I’d imagine.
If you ever have to reuse bearings and they’re a little rough soak them overnight in windex
👌😬👍
Great build 👍I might have gone with white grips tho JS
Those cheap,fake mags look great really!
👌😬👍
I use to have those rims on my BMX bike but in red
👍
Sweet
👌😬👍
Nicely
Perigrine falcon wheels..I had white ones on my diamondback viper..
👌😬👍
I'm building a 1986 pk ripper. Retro bikes are getting bro-taxed lately. Porkchop has great re-release parts.
Porkchop and PlanetBMX were saviors in this build
Amen
Bike came out great derek! Do you know where i can find a dominator and what size post would i need for that? Good video.
The dominator seats are repop right now and can be found online for around $40
Seat post is 22.2mm or 7/8”
It does absolutely look as cool as I remember but I would have went with different parts. Course, there are those who would go with different parts than I would use but I would have updated and upgraded with the same repop parts those with those bikes would have used back in the day. I would have found a "teamdisk" spider. One came on me "Slow ride". I would have upgraded to a haro or profile sealed American BB and some Haro Fusion cranks, Fusion Pedals and a teal fusion or Group1 stem. I'd have put a profile Elite freewheel ( 3/32) like the unidirectional and better engagement with a still retro look. And, I would have gotten a silver Thomson Elite setback seatpost. Only looks slightly different but they are indestructible unlike the ones back in the day that would always bend at the seat mast. I would have went with a one inch Threaded sealed bearing headset. Still, bad bike.
yeah man, the cool thing about bikes is you can customize them pretty much any way you want. I would've used the Haro Freestyler bars and maybe Skyway mags as my only changes, but I'm happy with it overall.
Nice!
Late to the party but great video
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I had the haro master on skyway mags
Sweet bike!
@@wal2 crazy my haro master was a powder blue color with white skyways ur bike looks just like mine. Side note I just got a classic amp with VU meters ur favorite!!! Old school Jensen amp.
Hey, amazing build! Have a ‘87 Team Sport myself and was thinking about the same “Peregrine” Vandorm Mags - how are they on the long run?
I'll be honest, I got them for the looks. Haven't ridden the bike since assembling it. I'm a bit too big for a 20" bike, just have fun building them.
@@wal thanks for letting me know! Actually I was thinking about the same thing since legit Peregrine mags are pretty hard and darn pricey to come by but finally I told myself if I was to spend a fortune of my old school Haro, I’d at least put a pair of Skyways on them, which I did eventually. Although I’m still thinking about the mags you got, those aero spokes on them look way cooler than your average Skyway tuffs.
My UK viewers have commented these as “shatter mags” so you may want to be careful if you’re going to rip it on the half pipe or something 🤷♂️
@@wal2 Thanks for the heads up, will keep it in mind!
I have a set of white peregrine “tuff wheels” that have the look of the wheels in the video, the rear coaster is messed up how much do you think they would go for if I got it fixed?
Send me pics to WillistonAudio (at) gmail dot com
Looks great! How straight do the knock off wheels spin?
They spin very smooth and true
Spin good, but my UK friends call these “shatter mags” 😳
Great job overalll very cool the only thing is the attention to the frame everything else is fresh and new and no attention was paid to the frame but phenomenal job
Yeah that was kinda the point. I wanted to keep it original and would have put on older parts if I had them
Do you remember when Murray had a bmx out I recently found one it a team Murray bmx 20" with a band/ drum brake on the back wheel now the bike ruff but I couldn't see it going to scrap so I saved it now it is before my time and 37 so do you remember see any of these
I think it was early 80’s
🔥🔥🔥🔥
😬👍
I’ve got an ‘87 FSX hanging in my garage. All original except for the tires. Is there a market for something like that? Would love for someone to appreciate it more than I do.
Oh fucken shit man , excuse my profanity on your comment section which I will never do but damn , I have been looking for that since the early 90’s , that is gold 💪
😬
nice video 🔥🔥 , i have one skyway '86 and one Pacific freestyle '91 but i can't find gyro where i can search?? thanks
The 1” Gyro’s are avail at PlanetBMX or Amazon. They are generic, not branded
@@wal2 thanks a lot!!
do it ride doe??had the chrome mongoose 84 expert ,great build,i wouldve chosen the same colours
Not this 6’4” 280lb dude 😜
How tall are you Wheelie? do you fit okay on that 20 inch? I miss my 20 inch when i was a kid and i wanted to build a retro 20, but i am afraid i wont fit on it tbh. BTW Love the retro bike Big D!
I’m 6’4” and I look like a clown on a 20”. Still fun to build the though 😬
Are those mags pretty strong? Would they hold up to jumping?
So my UK followers calls these shatter mags 😲
@@wal2 so they are for looks only. No wounded you can’t video of people riding them. They look good though
