Haro 124

Used to be that once apon a time, you only had good stuff from Haro. My Backtrail X24 is proof of that...4130 chromoly frame and relatively good componentry, even though I managed to turn the stock wheels to dust. I soon replaced them with Atomlabs and they have been the wheel of choice ever since and are still running strong. But I digress

Check out this new bike from Haro. Looks like they are going the hi-tensile steel route, and still want to charge US$370 (RRP) for this. These are the specs:

Now who in their right minds will pay that amount of money for hi-tensile frame when there are other manufacturers selling chromoly versions for about the same price? Check out Haro's page here
