What years did Haro make the F series bikes? My son traded for an F-4 and was wondering how old it was?
917441
I own a Haro X1 backtrail and a F-2....that f-4 is nice...highest of the line in the f- series...good bike, haro makes good bikes, but don't try flatland with them or you will snap the axle or yourself. they have been around for a few years, they arent just really old, but as long as its in good condition, great..if you want any upgrades go to flatlandfuel.com...great site for bmx bike upgrades....that where i got my parts to build my $1,500 khe equilibrium bike.

Ok, so "ardi_95" says he's got experience with bikes... although I'm at odds with his ego, I am in his corner here.\n\nPersonanlly I *like* the older bikes and enjoy fixing them up. I wouldn't worry about adding more gears just because that's the trend. If you plan to be a racer, *then* I would worry about more gears and in which case, just buy a new bike. But if you're not a racer, don't worry about what's the latest fad. The important thing is do *you* really like the Nishiki? That is the most important piece -- if the frame fits you, you're comfortable on it and it does what you want, keep it.\n\nIf you decide to sell it, call me first!\n\nAnd since you've asked for qualifications, I will just give a run down of my bike shed...Road Bikes: Trek 400 (mid 80's) Miyata 110 (late 80's), Trek 2300 (late 90's carbon fiber), Bianchi Campione D'Italia (late '80's), Takara (late '70's). Mountain Bikes: Giant ...crap, don't remember (2004), GT LTS Team Issue (2000): Recumbents: BikeE CT (2004), Linear LWB folder (mid 90's). Various BMX, cruiser and other bikes. Anything else feel free to contact me off the list.

HARO is the way to go bud, Ive been riding a 1985 Haro Master since 1985 and also have a Haro sport,Haro fst,Haro invernt and a Haro group 1... The mirra is worth the cash because of the good components on it and if you keep it in top shape will be worth good cash should you decide to sell it.\n\nThe Haro f2 is a decent bicycle for the money also..you can also put the bike in layaway and pay small amounts until paid off. This is what we used to do as kids to get a higher end bike.\n\nhttp://harobikes.com

because trek makes a newer better one each year. one of the bikes he was using wasn't great for some types of road riding. if you haven't already, check into the other carbon fiber bikes, and read the reviews! make sure it's going to be the best bike for YOU. especially if you're spending that kind of money!

Daniel H has set out the case brilliantly for the true revival in bikes for people (instead of the recent trend in making us humans conform to the high techery in the bikes).\n\nBut bikes are back because of the rising oil prices, combined at last, with the realisation that we can't keep putting all that carbon monoxide into the air just to go to the paper shop. \n\nBikes are back because people are learning they offer the all-round best exercise workout, they're fun, they're companionable and they let you see bits of the World you miss by car (and even on foot).\n\nBikes are back because the quality and sheer variety of modern bikes is extraordinary. They need hardly any maintenance, they don't rust anymore, they're not messy and they're easy to live with.\n\nLike Daniel I am really pleased to see the re-emergence of gear hubs - the new geration models are fantastic (my wife has a city bike fitted with a Shimano Nexus - its excellent).\n\nBUT - you asked is the sport of cycling dying. In short No. Sadly though, the old days of club racing seem to be over at the Sunday amateur level. Its all about big events and corporate sponsorship. Nevertheless, we're seeing new velodromes being built (that means big investment) and massive sponsorship in the big road racing teams. In Europe cycling is a passion second only to football (quite right too, I may be cycling mad, but football is close to God). \n\nCycle sport is not dying ... its changing.

Lightspeed and several other manufacturers make good tri bikes...  go to your local bike shop and ask.  I have a few friends who ride Quintana Roo and others.  Ride safe!

that bike wont last long off road it will soon break down into scrap metal.\n\nu should consider getting companys like haro,kona,norco,specialized,tr... and gt. start with kona, specialized and giant they make good bikes and they are cheap for bikes within the same range. for kona look for stuff, lavadom or scrap\nnorco:shore series\nharo:v series\nspecialized:any thing they are all good and cheap\nironhorse:make almost unbreakable bikes but they are heavy\nbanshee:morphine series\n\n\nbefore buying the bike make sure that the dimonds of the frame should be small and points upwards the tyres should be wide and with lots of rubber studs. the fork should have atleast 100mm of travel better if beond 130mm. the suspention brand that you should look for is marzochii or rock shock they are the most common ones. if you dont like the suspention then you might consider spending an other 500$ on bomber shocks they are good qualityed stuff. i recomand a hard tail because they are easier to ride up hill and gives lots of air. and is cheaper and lighter. you should look for disk breaks but if the bike dont come with them v breaks are good too exept over time they dig into your rim and shorten the rim's life.

My cousin had a banana bike, and we rode double and we used her feet as training wheels.. She taught me how to ride, and we had alot of fun. Thanks! I am sitting here chuckling about it, and that was almost 40 years ago.

Dahon has been around forever, and is one of the pioneers of this type of bicycle. They have models from $300-$1500.

Same as they do now, except probably a different paint and/or decal scheme. There may be some minor differences (crank, h-bar, etc) between the '06 & '07s. The 2007 models won't start showing up until late summer or early to mid fall. You might want to keep a running tab on Hoffman's website to see when they update it to show the 2007 bikes.

Totally dependent on riding style and personal preference although i would say shimano xt and a ferw months ago MBR magazine did a comparison test (august or sept issue) and came up with the same result i think it was 9 for shimano and 8 sram (out of 10) If you check the mbr website you may be able to find a copy of this review on there however if not you may find they could give you a back issue or if you know ne1 into cycling they may still have a copy you need to read reviews though as both systems have some rather bad shortfalls and therefore you need to see which will cause least problems for you

I know the bikes although I have no idea that's not really my area of expertise but these guys have always come through for me in the past with regard to the old classics (they don't deal exclusively with Schwinn lotta old timers with extensive knowledge here. http://groups.msn.com/SchwinnTalk
