looks like it has a wrap around front gusset so guessing late 80's making it more likely to be an FST

better pic and serial no would help

Post by: stuntmaster on January 03, 2008, 01:14 PM: i say more sport as fst used flat dropouts and those are l shaped

Post by: kuwahero on January 03, 2008, 01:50 PM: the wrap around gusset appeared in 88 and I agree with stuntmaster about the dropouts. couldnt see them properly at first.

anyway the sport is also an inch longer. so check the top tube length

Post by: WizardWeb on January 04, 2008, 12:01 AM: I think that's an 87/88 FST. It's got the wrap round gusset but the rear drop-outs are the same as an 85/86 sport, so that would make it an FST.

The 87/88 sport/master had L-shaped drop-outs that followed the line of the chainstay, not angled up to be parallel with the ground like the 85/86- if you get what I mean.

Unless those ones have bent up with use for some reason. I've zoomed in on the pic, it's hard to tell. We need a better pic of the rear.

Post by: antiquebmx on January 05, 2008, 04:55 PM: I would say a sport as the headtube seems to have a taper, not sure of year
