Haro Flightline HT | Custom Build (Now for Sale)

**The Haro is now for sale for £350 here**
So I've finally gotten round to starting a Hardtail build. I've had few spare bits lying around gathering dust, so instead of selling them, I'm making up this little number. I'm keeping it as cheap as possible by only buying brand new parts that are essential/can't get hold of second hand. Bought the frame a few weeks ago, which is what got the ball rolling.
Below is everything I currently have. I've got Forks, chain guide, grips, and saddle in the post. I will update as I get hold of parts!
Frame: 2011 Haro Flightline Expert 19"
Forks: Rockshox Recon 100mm (on order)
Chainset: Shimano Deore M590, Single speed 36T
Chain Guide: Superstar Laser Chaindevice
Gear Shifters: Shimano Deore M590 9spd RH
Rear Mech: Shimano SLX M662 9spd
Cassette: Shimano HG61 9spd 11-32
Chain: Shimano HG53 9spd
Pedals: Wellgo Flat Magnesium in White
Brakes: Avid Elixir 5 F+R
Handlebars: Kore Torsion 710mm
Headset: FSA Zero Stack No.11
Grips: Superstar SupaGripa
Stem: FSA XC150 100mm
Saddle:
Hubs: Sram 406 Race
Rims: Mach 1 MX
Tyres: Conti Speed King 2.1 F+R
Rotors: Tektro 180mm Front, 160mm Rear.





- Wheels are on the heavy side but had them lying around back home so grabbed them.
- I was going to get a brand new set of Deore brakes but got the Eilixir 5s for under £40, couldn't say no to that!
- The stem is a lot longer than I would usually use at 120mm, but I will see how it rides when it's built up.
- Also got a set of Mountain King 2s for when I need a bit more grip.

Should look sick when it's built, but I would have forked out a bit more and got the new Deore brakes, they would pay for themselves in the time you'll spend faffing with those pesky Avids!
I had no idea Haro made MTB frames until i saw this one! It was the shape of the frame was what drew me in to buy it. I like the 'curvyness' of the toptube. And yea I would have certainly preferred the Deore brakes, as I am running XTs on my Spesh and they are sublime. I'll see how I get on with the Avids though. Only bought them as they were soo cheap and I'm handy when it comes to bleeding brakes so i should be able to ge them setup good.
Had a few mores things arrive in the post today so pics will be up shortly.

They had run out of stock of blue lockrings on Superstar which i would have preferred with black grips. This was the next best choice!

I managed to put 90% of the bike together. Just the rear gear cable/housing to add, and I need to bleed the back brake to fit it on properly, which I will do in work at some point tomorrow. Here's the pic of it almsot complete:
Very happy with it and can't wait to get out on it once it's complete!

Cheers.
I literally never use it anymore and haven only done 4 rides to work on it in the past 6 months! It will be better off in the hands of someone who will actually use it!
