I have an 05' Haro F2, let me say that is is a decent bike. However, there are some things that I am not happy with. For one, the bead on the stock tires tears out after about four months (I now have dirt monsters and they are fine) the chainwheel is worthless as I bent it to hell and back just by riding. My biggest problem was the rear rim, it's a single wall and I had it turned into an octagon after five months(Just by flatland) I now have the alex y22 double wall and I love it. So I believe that Haro's are to some extent 'over-rated' Just don't buy the F2, get the x2 or 540 air as those were my favorite bikes.
