Title: Haro FST which year?
Post by: jmt1970 on November 25, 2015, 02:26 PM: Hi all, ive managed to get hold of this this afternoon and would like a little help on the year and value, its a scruffy rider but all there, i dont know quite whether its all as it should be as i dont recognise the rear drop outs. Any help appreciated. Dont know wether to restore or sell as is.

Post by: deeman on November 25, 2015, 02:44 PM: It's an 87/88 FST some were actually Sports stickered as FST's....the top tube length will tell you .If it is 19.5" it's more than likely a Sport ( measure from centre of seat tube to centre of head tube). The dropouts on all the Haro freestylers after 85/86 are like that, it was meant to be a standing platform incorporated into the dropout. It looks to be all there with most of the original parts present....will make a nice resto project....easy to get the powder and decals redone.....all the parts you need shouldn't be too pricey either....or just clean it up and ride as is! :daumenhoch:

Not many bits need changing to get it factory spec again ... Those pedals are an upgrade as are those 50/50 coaster skyways...
All you need are grips, seat/seat post / seat clamp and stem and you are there mate!

Nice Bike

sport/fsts are easy to spot, they're in 87 colours obviously but lack the wrap round head tube gusset.

Finding the original parts that have been replaced shouldn't be to hard to source.
