Title: Just picked this up lads...
Post by: Swivel on June 20, 2008, 02:07 PM
It ain't no Holeshot, but rare all the same and according to the master Del, getting hard to find these days. It's a Haro FST 1985, but with 1986/87/88 forks, dunno, I think about 87 forks. Needs a full resto. Going to make this and my TA the last builds but i'll continue to restore my frames, not sure the missus can deal with all the parts spread around the gaff  ;D The bloke I bought it from was a really nice chap and he is a member on here he said although hasn't posted up here for a long time and this was his from when he was a kid, so that's cool  :)

Anyway this build will eventually be white, with red decals, red alloy hubbed tuffs, chrome vector bars and I may keep the forks chrome also, dunno yet, white haro tyres, red seat etc.. etc.. should look the nuts  :4_17_5: Just gotta locate that Red Haro Frame Pad and i'll be sorted as I have everything else...  :daumenhoch:

Will post up pics as it progresses...

Matt  ;)

No mate, got it off someone from ebay but met them in Waltham Abbey to do exchange, he came from enfield. Nice solid frame that's for sure. 88.5 forks, cool, no problem with those... cheers dude  :daumenhoch:

I thought so, Del said they are very rare and harder to source than the Sports. Will definately aim to get this baby finished soon... first off to the painters and chromers  :daumenhoch:

Mmmmm...dunno about that, it depends what generation and year you're talking.  ;)

I've seen more FST's than 84 Gen 1 and Gen 2 Sports.

Still nice all the same though.
