Haro F3
my friend..who is standing right next to me...just asked me if i could put this post on here......he asks.."is the Haro F3 a good bike for somebody who does street riding mostly with a little dirt also"....he pretty much is an all-around guy.....alot of different styles rolled into one person...he only wants to know how good the bike is and if there are any upgrade parts that would make this bike even better.

The F3 has compact geometry more suited to street / flat. For dirt, you'll want a longer top tube and relaxed head / seat tube angles. Nyquists and Backtrails are a good bet if you're going Haro.

Tell him to ride what he's got until he's good enough to tell the difference.
