Bob Haro's "Master" was a cutting edge freestyle bike that revolutionized the world of BMX. It was the iconic model of the mid 1980s. The Master was a frame with progressive geometry and bold graphic design. It was created for the future in BMX. The master is the ultimate in cutting-edge design.
Haro Bikes was the most popular brand of freestyle bikes in BMX during the 1980s. These bikes were the winners of almost every race in the sport. This made them the most popular bikes of the era. Their first advert was published in FREESTYLIN' Magazine in 1985. The company would produce a line of freestyle bikes, which would be the beginning of a new era on the freestyle scene.
Haro Freestyler, and Master were the two first freestyle models on the market. Both models share a similar head tube angle and seat mast. Both share a swaged triangle at the rear. There are some key differences between them.
The fork legs have a different shape. The fork stander in the first generation was higher up on the fork leg. This allowed forks to fold up easily and kept the bike upright.
Later versions of "Master" were updated. The gussets on the front of the bike were machined to avoid cracking. These frames were also fitted with more refined chainstays. These frames also had non-drive side dropsouts that were not brazed-on.
The second generation USA Haro Master was manufactured by Torker BMX in Fullerton. It was very similar to the original 1983 model. There were many new features, including swept dropouts and tapered seat stays. Double s-bend chains stays fed into the rear dropout to create a standing platform.
A significant addition was the introduction a fully welded front end gusset. This increased the Master's risk of cracking and also provided a slight weight advantage.
The 1986 models were the most desirable of all the era's models. Although many of these bikes were built from the 1986 model, the specifications were modified to match the cost of the frame from 1986. Master didn't have a stacked mast for the seats, as the FST and Sport did.
Three color options were available for the Haro Master. Neon Green was the team issue. You could also choose from blue or gray. The Haro Master, like the FST or Sport, was available in two sizes.
The 86 "Master" was a very collectible bike. Team riders, including Dave Nourie, Ron Wilkerson, and Brian Blyther, all received one of these bikes. Some models were only equipped with the back triangle. Other models had serial numbers from 1985.
Haro made the frames using the correct manufacturing methods when it was time to reissue them. They used locally-sourced raw materials in this case.
