Hey, I just pulled a BMX out of the trash. Its in good condition, and my wife has Son #1 on the way, so I figure I'll ride it a while then fix it up for him when the time is right. Might be a bit big / heavy for a kid's first bike, but I figure it'll be right for him a SOME point, maybe with lighter wheels / cranks / pedals.

I'm trying to ID the model / year; the SN is 2313H0108 and it looks like its intended for park / jump (heavy frame, 14 mm axles, 48 spokes, 20 x 2.1 tires). The frame isn't like any Haro's I see online- its flat black (no stickers, hence the post here) and the top tube bends down a bit just before joining the seat tube, with the resulting space filled by a half-tube gusset. I'll try to get a pic up ASAP.

Are the brakes posts on the frame for 990 brakes or V brakes?

Edit: Is this the bike? Dont worry about the color. If it has no stickers on it it very well could have been spray painted. BTW, how do you know its a Haro? This pic looks like what you described though. If so, its called a Haro Revo. If this is it, then the frame sounds decent enough. 4130 chro-moly frame.

990 brakes mounted on the upper chainstays. I knew it was a Haro from the stamped logo on the gusset and a the "head badge" sticker (I just meant no OTHER sticker ) so I know the make, just not what model / year. Paintjob looks factory, but could be a good can-job with a fresh head sticker.

Here's a picture:

Besides the brake posts being on the upper chainstay, the upper stay design looks different (mines got a Y stay that ends at the seat tube, that one looks like dual stay that passes the seatpost to join the downtube). But yeah, it's probably in the same family - very similar looking parts and frame shape.

Found this page. Didnt see much else on a bike named this, but this frame looks exactly like yours. 990 mounts on the seat stays, wishbone on the seat stay, bent top tube with gusset.

Haro TR of some level, then. Probably not the 2.1 you linked to (comes with 1 piece cranks) so maybe a 2.3. Looks a lot like this one:

Thanks, guess that's solved. One review says its "popular with thieves", which probably explains how it ended up dumped where I found it. Maybe I should give the cops that S#.

Look through the database. It should be there. If not-post it in the "Name It" section and you'll get your answer pretty quick

Never heard of the TR line. Was that before the backtrail line (pictured below)?

remember the haro group 1's from the early 90's?
