1992-? Haro Extreme for sale, Unique Vintage MTB

This is a mountain bike my coworker tried to sell me. We had not talked about price because I immediately told him my SO and I have limited my stable to a dozen ponys.

Many years back he bought this from his suburban neighbor because he needed a way to get to work due to his DUI suspension. It came with the typical suburban gel seat and gel pad (which I had to remove for the photo). Later he grew discontent with it from it being a bit too long on the inseam for him (notice the seat all the way down).

He thought the bike was aluminum because it seemed very light to him. I looked over the frame and told him it was a rare very well built chromoly frame. It should be sold to a bicycle geek like myself who would apreciate it.

He is asking $300.00

I get a cut for sharing this rare beauty with my bike geeks.

I guess I am old, there were no mountain bikes when I was in H.S. I guess it could be worst, I could be like Garth and have had a penny farthing in H.S.

Damn, if I had the extra space I'd be all over this. Nineties MTBs are the shit.

 

What size is it?

The frame size is 21.5 (55cm). It also has a unique rear shimano u-brake with integrated stiffner. The stem is a shock absorber. Bars are one single twisted piece.

Like those plastic mag wheels on my old Schwinn Predator?
