John Buultjens Haro BMX collection from 1982 to 1993

Before he was Haro's brand manager, John Buultjens had one of the nicest collections of Haro bikes from the Bob Haro era of the company. Here's a look at that collection.

This collection started when I wanted to bring my old ridable Haro's back to life. Then the obsession started. 18 years later and I am still collecting. My mission is to have every pro model Haro ever made then have them on display here at Haro HQ.

Thanks for sharing that awesome collection. I'm 44 and still have my original 1993 Haro Master and still riding it.

Love your story. I had the same love affair with dyno and gt bikes in the early 90's. I know what you feel when it comes to loving and restoring bikes like this. I just finished one 91 compe and I'm starting another.

Awesome collection!  Thanks for sharing it.  I remember ordering my original Haro Freestyler F&F back in 1982.  I was so excited that a freestyle specific F&F was coming out that I just couldn't wait to own one.  Rode the heck out if it, then got the next year's version after cracking the frame.  So, I am personally responsible for destroying both of my original Haros through my riding.  I still have my 1992 Master in the condition it was in as my main rider before I treated myself to a new bike. It still has most of the original parts, plus Perigrine HP 48's Super Pro wheels and tires.  It was also ridden hard for many years and I simply retired it.  It is now something that I simply enjoy seeing every day as I grab my mid school Redline twin top tube FS 880 to ride.  Anyway, thanks for sharing your collection.

I had a 1987 and as much as it hurt, I let it go to a kid who never had a bike of his own, I grew up poor, soo I understood what happiness came from owning my first bike, mine was a bike I put together from scraps, his was a HARO😉 pure HAPPINESS!!!!

Wow this is amazing! Brings back memories!!! I remember seeing a kid in my area with an original 1982-83 Haro Freestyler with the Haro Vector bars back around '82-'83. I was 12-13 at the time. I bought a teal/turquoise color 1988 Sport with Kneesaver bars. I bought the bike brand new, all stock in 1988 and then changed the rear hub to an ACS Freetrack hub. It was such a great bike. It got stolen in 1994. I wish I still had it.
