Title: CUSTOM 85 HARO FST - POSSIBLY THE BRIGHTEST HARO EVER!
Post by: Del on October 05, 2008, 12:32 PM

I finished this Haro FST over the weekend, as you can see its a bit bright. I wanted something a little different from the normal factory Haro FSTs so came up with a few colour ideas before finally deciding on Yellow, then I had to plan the colour scheme of the decals and came up with green and orange as contrasting colours. Its come out "fruity" but I really like it... and a few of you know I always prefer something a little different!

You can make out what the parts are fitted to it so I wont bore you with a parts breakdown list... the only thing I want to change is the Stem, but I've lost a Group 1 stem somewhere over the Atlantic and dont think its going to show up. :'(

Anyway enjoy the pics and any comments good or bad always are always appreciated.
