I concur, the sport and FST are a great geometry.
Title: Re: Exchange my rider from 1985 to 1988
Post by: Ady on March 21, 2016, 06:32 PM: I have got both and they both ride nice..
The FST is slightly longer than the GT same geometry as the sport but not Chrome-Moly frame .
The GT is much better to the eye personally and will sell better than a FST..
If it was a sport no brainier as much better rear brakes ..
Title: Re: Exchange my rider from 1985 to 1988
Post by: senzo milano on March 21, 2016, 09:22 PM: Can you tell me what THE differance is beween a FST and a sport?
:-\
Title: Re: Exchange my rider from 1985 to 1988
Post by: Ady on March 21, 2016, 09:42 PM: Chrome moly frame on the 1987/88 sport with Dia Compe 990 Rear brake .
Much lighter than the FST but same size frame..
Keep your GT bud..
Again much lighter than both the above..

Post by: senzo milano on March 21, 2016, 09:58 PM: On THE decals on my FST is written full chromo 4130
Title: Re: Exchange my rider from 1985 to 1988
Post by: Ady on March 22, 2016, 05:08 PM: Yours is a `87 FST and should be trimoly frame which is chromoly front but rear trimoly..
But..
Yours might be a `86 sport but decals of a `87 FST..
Due to demand back then they used sport frames using the chromoly only decal..but decals for a FST ..
So you might have scored bud.. fistblump

He is the link..

The later `87 sports had the rear 990 brakes.
I have `88 FST and the rear drop outs are flat with no foot platform.
The forks uses the haro standers fitted on the 85 86 masters and sports..
My `87 and `88 sports both have the foot platforms..
But the later type fork standers..

so a `86 sport with `87 FST decals.. :slayer:
Title: Re: Exchange my rider from 1985 to 1988
Post by: OrgasmDonor on March 22, 2016, 05:39 PM: the sport was longer, FST same TT as master, IIRC

I know you are not going to be jumping it but the fst is a much stronger and better handling and bigger/better fit frame than the GT and the fst feels better on a track than a sport, the sports are a little front heavy.

the 86 sport that became a FST is what I've got, and that's not what we have here, main differences are in 86 there was no wrap round head tube gusset, and no 990 brakes, 87 there was. So the 87 FST in cyan and black with no head tube gusset is in fact a chrome sport in disguise
