Looks to be a 1987 it had white peregrine mags but they were destroyed. The bike was sitting outside........well lets just say along time! Still worthy of a restore!

Good find. I gotta start me an 87 or 88 master project sometime soon. they are off the freakin hook!!!!

here is another pic

NICE FIND.

88 Coral and black. Love that color combo. Wasn't Chip or someone going to try to reproduce that color?

cool find rob!

oh ya all for $75.00 at a yard sale!!!

That's a great find. Just make sure when you restore it that the back brake lever goes back on the seat pole!

The dual rear brake was the hot setup for no handed decades.

I'd like to see that trick pulled off cleanly. No handed decade, sounds complicated.

Nice score.

You guys say it is a 1988 but in the serial number the is statses 87' just wondering I guess it stands to reason that, the color combo was for 1988! So did Haro have a lot of left overs like the rest of the companies and just paint them differently for each year? Any comments, Or information would be interesting.

You pretty much hit the nail on the head. Same design for both years so they just switched over colors when they were ready for the next year's models to come out. Was probably made late 87 and painted with 88 colors.

They did the same thing from 85 to 86, except that there were some MINOR design changes between those years. Mainly knurling on the chainstay standers went from one solid section to having a space between 2 sections of knurling (although this is debatable), and most notably the height of the forkstanders went from up high (85) to almost mid-level on forks (86).

87 to 88 was identical though...unless you start talking 88 1/2 model which lost the 990 mounts and went to an all-paint/no chrome finish. But I think that might have been only on the Sport, I don't recall any 88 1/2 Masters without 990s. I'm sure that if I'm wrong, someone here will be able to clarify on that.

I agree with everything you just said.
only other thing I would add, is that a few small components changed from 87 to 88, namely Pedals and brake levers from 87-88 Team Models. But that's just nit picking. The frames were identical.

Coral was one of the best 88 colors.

I would say many components changed from 87 to 88 for Team Models:
Peregrine CD sprocket -> Haro CD sprocket
Peregrine/Panaracer HP tires -> Haro HPF 2.0 tires
Haro Group 1 stem -> Haro Pro stem
Haro freestyle bars -> Haro kneesaver bars
Peregrine Pro HP wheels -> Peregrine Super Pro HP wheels
Shimano PD MX-15 pedals -> Victor VP-500 pedals (late 87 models could have come with Victor pedals though, can anyone confirm this?)

Now as for the levers, I thought they were DC Aerial Tech 7 levers in 87 and 88, weren't they?

I meant design of the F/F. The components never mattered much to me. I always built up around framesets anyway.
