I loved those HPV bikes from the late 1980's. Hutch made one, so did Haro. I remember a friend of mine entering a local crit on a dare, he rode a Haro Dart;

Its now back to a somewhat-regular-bmx-state. Well, not really. Now its got centre pull brakes from a 70's department store bike, ugly mountain levers, an old 105 crank (w/ biopace rings) with the little ring still bolted to the outside because I never bothered to get single stack chainrings. The seatpost is also jammed in as far as it will go and I strapped a STEEL saddle to it. Literally, the saddle is made of steel. Its back to SS as well. Its still super ********. I'm thinking of buying a cheap BMX and just swapping the parts over, because that frame is in great condition and somewhat collectible

I should remind everyone again how ******** bikes like these actually are. Think riding a fixed gear sloping funnybike on the street, but make it not fit in any way, and be the most squirelly top-heavy bike ever. They look fun, just like shampoo smells good.

Well, mine smells like oranges. Tastes like soap though.
