I was going to suggest Kellogg's, less likely, but there's a chance it would be Post or Quaker you need to reach out to.

More of a Weetabix man myself, really makes the old Raleigh fly. Feels a bit cereal at times when it pops up on grocery shelves stateside.

Didn't post pics of the O's because they're grainy?

I am unfamiliar with Haro's serial number layout, so I'd suggest finding threads or websites with serial number information, that way if there is a different number in the second position (or sixth position), or a different letter, that will help narrow it down. Googling "old haro bike serial number" nets many promising results. Good luck.

Oh for crying out loud kids, answer please!
The ZO-L are probably letters and the 9I0892 numbers. Maybe it's a LARGE size frame built in 91? Show us the bike and serial number as best as you can.

I can't help with the OP's question, but I hope they post some Grrrrrrrrrrrrreat!!! pictures. That may help get better answers than the cereal number.

Welcome to the forum, 10_Points

I hope the replies so far haven't chased you away. If you go to your profile, you can create an album of pictures of your Haro, and another member may link to them to show up here.

Thanks for trying. Not sure it is much help, though.

10_Points , welcome! And hang in there. Someone who actually knows something about Haro bikes is bound to come along at some point.
