Hi Jason you wouldn't believe the prices of some of the old school stuff, Haro Freestyler Generation 1 bikes fetch well over a grand, I paid £500 for this in 2008.
 
what an absolute classic, thanks for sharing. I had the black chopper with the flames on the chain gaurd - but I wanted a bmx
 
Aaah the 80's ! I loved the bmx days of old .Have you still got this bike ? would you sell it ? ps nice flight crank ;)
 
Great bike. I remember when they released Tuff II's in white, when everyone had black ones from their Burners. Do you remember OGK's.
Dean:)
 
Hi Dino, yeah remember OGK's they made wheels and grips if my memory serves me...... Here's my other bikes...

I always wanted a Mongoose (or a Kuwahara) when I was a lad, but they were £400-odd back in the lates 70s/early 80s, so I ended up with getting a Puch (from Halfords :LOL:), removing all the decals and fitting a set of red Mongoose pads :naughty:
 
Blimey, this brings back memories..

My BMX days consisted of a Falcon Pro Theta (dont laugh!), followed by a Firebird Freestyler (A cherry red custom built one - DP limited edition or something like that). Always wanted a GT Pro Performer.

Can't believe how much these go for now!!!
 
These do certainly bring back memories.

I'm half tempted by your advert to sell these - I'm sure my daughter would be happy !
