Hi

Could anyone tell me what this frame is?



I have been told its an old Haro for the 90's but cant seem to track one down thought this form would be the best place to ask

Cheers

You only have one post so no one is gonna tell you.

If you are interested in selling it PM me.

You must be from Britain.

Is this a JAD? I have never seen rear drop outs like that on one before.

I can tell you it's worth about as much as the shipping costs from Britain to the states- or less. If you wanna sell it, PM me and Ill tell you everything I know.

thanks for the fast replys

Not a Jad.

It's a funky British Diamondback Turbo frame from the early 90's. They were never sold in the states and there is very little known about them. I collect Diamondbacks and I would like to get hold of one, someday.

I do not collect Silver Streaks or any of the low end stuff, just race stuff.

It's really rare, but so rare, nobody knows of them and thusly, it has virtually no following, whatsoever.

I'll give you $50.00 U.S.D. + shipping.

That's it.

Ahh I see!

thanks very much for your help.

I had 2 of these things when I was yonger but non of then had and stickers on, one got stolen then I came about another one!

Ened up stipping this one when I was 16 then it just got forgotton about, just dug it out!

Thanks for the offer but im looking to restore it.

Well, I wish you the best of luck. I guess that picture on the museum wouldn't be a bad picture to go by.

Do yourself a favor and if you actually are short enough to fit on it, don't jump it or you are headed for a heartbreak.

The frame looks dangerously similar to one of those folding 20" commuter bikes.

Well im now 6'6" so dont think I'll be getting on it!

Will just be cool to see it back as it should be, got to start looking for bits to go on the frame now.

Mystery solved, then.
When I first saw it, the shape looked familiar but I'd never seen one exactly like it (plus I'm no expert). It reminded me of an old Dyno (or two):




And Haro wandered onto the design route too:


Possibly others, I don't know. Just rambling now but I think it's interesting how ideas get tried out and end up looking like variations on a theme. Almost Darwinian.

Anyone would have told him what it was...I haven't been on the site in a while...If you're looking for information on a bike, not a big deal...If you're looking for information on how much it's worth, different story...

Lonewolf,

Virtually every post you have is worthless...and the way that you just tried to snake this guy out of his bike is quite the "welcome" to the site...You are pretty much a Donald Ray that can spell...

I thought it was a Rumblefish at first but decided to scroll down and read into it. Big mistake, as all I could think was, "Is this guy just pretending to be a [I tried to curse]?" After looking at your profile, the thought of you "pretending" faded immediately.

You should [that which cleanses internals] your way out of the BMX community.

Boss, it seems like me and you are always on the same page!

i seen a dyno frame look like that one..
