I believe this was around the time when you bought a Haro with the FSR design that was built by Intense. These bikes had Haro on the DT and on the stays it had Specialized, Intense and Lee' s logo also. It was practically an M3
Those haros were just a rebadged intense. They weren't the only company doing it. And this was back in the M1 era

This is only partially correct. While a lot of teams rebadged the M1, this specific design with the removable seat tower was exclusive to Haro and was never sold that way by Intense. The Intense team later used this frame to test the 5th Element shock before they came out with the updated M1 monocoque front triangle. To make it look like the regular frame, they had carbon covers velcro'd over the gap in the seat tower.

I'm not sure I like the way things would go. Having a bike brand getting named "Eastwood" after embracing the Magnum standard and then a putting out a model named "Dirty Harry" isn't that appealing to me...
That's it then. I am going to make mountain biking great again. I Will trademark the .45"x5.7" MAGNUM hub standard.
Is it a double barrel?

Ps. Haro may have that tm'd. They had the .357 and the .357 magnum DH bikes back in the mid 2000's.View attachment 125690

Sounds like you gents aren't familiar with Magnums of the gold wrapper variety ... :brows:
