Title: IS this a Haro Frame or not??
Post by: ammacopij72 on March 09, 2011, 09:16 PM: This is being advertised as an '87 FST on the 'Bay, but I've been looking on the museum and the top tube seems to be wrong. Any advice much appreciated.

Post by: pickle on March 09, 2011, 09:46 PM: The 87 is different where the two top tubes join the single one. On the 90's ones they run along the side of the tube, I think the 87 ones join at the end of the single tube.....if that makes sense.

Post by: Spen69 on March 09, 2011, 11:37 PM: Yep, this is Darren's bike and it was my old bike for a long time :daumenhoch: :smitten:

The serial number is 1988 on it and when I consulted a lot of folk on here it was deemed an FST or Invert as it was the odd model with the external gusset that wraps around the head tube.

Either way, it was hard to tell and the seller from the USA who I've bought plenty of stuff off over the years confirmed it arrived into his hands with a set of FST decals on it and they looked original. The frame was black originally but my brother and I rattle-canned it white as soon as it landed and I put some cheap nasty decals on it before I finally I had it re-done in white powder a few years later.

Darren's advert clearly states the forks are not Haro, they came off an Ammaco I had a long time ago and I had them powdered the same time. Matt who I sold it to put the Landing Gear decals on it as he liked my Sport I also did at the same time.

Either way it is definitely a 100% Haro frame and I rode it at Creation a couple of Christmas' ago as well as just about every ramp I've been on since. It's an awsome little bike and I sold it to pay for the Sport build.

Over the years I had it I tweaked it constantly..... :2funny:

Rattle-canned white :daumenhoch:

So it's a Haro Invert or FST, but you need to measure it to be 100% sure. Either way Darren's add is perfectly correct and he's a sound bloke :daumenhoch:

Nuff said? :knuppel2: :2funny:
