2005 Haro Shift R5

[Jordan M.]

Alright I am in the market on buying a Haro shift r5 for next year and I wanna know if this bike is bang for its buck. It is fairly cheap compared to other bikes I have looked at like the Jamis XC series and the gary fisher sugar series. It weighs around 28 pounds but I am not really big on weight.

Also does anyone know any bike shops who sells Haro's within 75 miles of Mankato,MN

thanks!

Haven't seen specs so I couldn't tell ya all about it but I do know that Bicycle Sports in Rochester, MN sells them! I used to work for them, they are good guys there. What ever you pick post some pics up when it is dirty!!!
