1991 Haro Sport BMX Restoration EP2. Including a Mid School BMX Bash Guard Sport model year guide.

In episode 2 of the 1991 Haro "Bash Guard" Sport BMX restoration, we dive into the condition of the bike, and carry out the strip down ready for restoration. We look at what parts of the bike will be retained in order to maintain its survivor authenticity, and also review the parts that will be upgraded as part of the process.
We also take a look at why so many bash guard Haro Sports are listed under the incorrect model year, and run through a series of distinguishing features for each model year that can help you correctly identify any bash guard Haro Sport that you come across. I also explain how you can download these blueprints so that you can keep them on hand for future reference.

I was just thinking what’s the worst part of the build for myself.. it’s got to be the finish in a way.. I’m very happy but always looking for something I wish I did differently.. there almost never truly done and the thought that I need to find or pull another bike out of the collection to throw a bunch of $$ at lol. I love this channel and don’t know how you don’t have 100k. Keep at it you will in time with content like this.

[@themidschoolsessions]

Thanks for the kind words. 100% agree they are never done haha. Always an improvement that can be done, and it goes on forever. That’s half the fun though, constantly dialling them in.

[@Junior-fd8ux]

@@themidschoolsessions lol absolutely. I just (finished) a sort of long term build, of course not happy with the seat that will be swapped and dropping off a new project frame set to be powdered today lol. I keep warning my buddy who just got back into it to be careful! It can be very addicting.

[@themidschoolsessions]

@@Junior-fd8ux Addicting is an understatement! haha

I’m in my 50 & I’m from Cincinnati Ohio & I just got ahold of one of my old bike friends recently & he’s in a bike club called the Cincinnati Flatland Fanatics , we were talking on FB & he got me hyped told me i should pull the trigger a buy a bike & now he’s got me looking for a bike , but the only thing is , I don’t want any bike or these new bikes out there just because their not made of 4130 Crome Molly & I,m looking for one type of bike out there either a Haro Master from 88 up to 91 or a Haro Team Master from 88 up to 91 or even a Haro Air Master , my preferred bike would be the 1989 Haro Team Master with bash guard black & im only looking for the frame & fork for any of there’s bikes so I can build around it & put my own parts on it , it’s got to be a Master , anyone out there knows of anybody selling a Master Frame & fork or were I could buy one hit me up on this post .

[@nephila_]

🙌👏🤩

[@themidschoolsessions]

Thank you!

[@TheOskarz28]

You didn't mention that since the 93 model, the seat post is 1", from 90 to 92 use 7/8 seat post...

[@themidschoolsessions]

That’s definitely another important difference to call out. I just listed the ones people could easily spot visually, but seat tube diameter is a good indicator no doubt.

[@ride4funnomg103]

Is there any love for the 1990 Haro Master bashguard?

[@themidschoolsessions]

Take a look at episode 1. It’s talked about in that. 👍

[@AlaskaBikeDoctor]

Love the video. But can we talk about the hideous graphics on this bike?

[@themidschoolsessions]

@@AlaskaBikeDoctor it was the early 90’s, that says it all.

[@fulgently]

whats the bolt size for the bash plate of 89 bashgaurd?

[@themidschoolsessions]

I don’t have an 89 so can’t say for sure but a quick google suggested it might be M5x18. Hope that helps. 👍
