    Noone could ever imagine that some day someone would come along and manage to make this bike design beautiful. 😂

    I had in the 90s the neon orange haro extreme the higher end version to this. it had a suspension stem that was amazing! That bike rolled over anything and had so much compliance. Such a wonderful bike for the time I miss it.

    I had a 1990 Haro Impasse that came from Gorilla Bike! Rode it hard for over a decade. I still remember looking through the catalog and seeing these triagonal frames. So cool. Recently had a neighbor getting rid of one so I gave him $50 for it. I didn't do as much as you did to this one, but it does get ridden. Keep up the good work!

    That paint is just simply gorgeous. I've had a thing for green paintjobs lately, and this will do just nicely. It's both loud yet subtle at the same time. Just right.
    Would be great to have a custom painted bike one day and it might not be so far away though as Stanton bicycles offer that extra service.
    The grips was made for that bike as well lol.

    I rode Haro bmx bikes, then mostly trek mountain bikes and I remember this bike when it was new. Your restorations, up-mods are thorough and clean. I love them. I don’t mind the colors at all, and styles are always changing anyway. My only gripe would be the wide riser bars. It is definitely a more modern, and popular, choice to have those but I still prefer 585mm with some answer bar-ends (the internal ones). I’m old now I guess. Lol.

    Es increíble lo bien que la ha dejado, era un montón de chatarra destinada al basurero, pero tu la has echo revivir, llevándola del pasado, al presente, eres un crack un fenómeno, un artista, trabajas muy bien, sobre todo lo que más loco me ha vuelto a parte del diseño que tiene el cuadro, es el pedazo de casete de alto rango que le has puesto, porque al ser monoplato, tiene que llevar un casete de alto rango para no echar de menos los otros dos platos, delanteros, que casete le has puesto? Es de 10 velocidades? En fin amigo tu a mi me dejas esa bici, y te aseguro que le haría un montón de kilómetros, y resultaría casi imposible que me bajase de ella, un abrazo amigo mío y hasta pronto.
