Need some help I'D'in a FST frame & forks :-\
The frame has no rear standers, cable guides....been told may 1987 ????....frame number not visable due to powdercoat ??
Forks are the forkstand ones ??
Im a Haro Novice, my memory of my mates one's back in the day is not great, so any help would be great :daumenhoch:
Also, what it be worth if genuine ? :daumenhoch:
thanx dudes :4_17_5:
-
found one on a haro site..looks exactly the sam and is an 86...so that is all good 8)
learnt a little also, so now I now the difference between one and a sport :daumenhoch:
help with the value would be good though....its been coated, been built & riden, no damage or repairs ?? ???
-
Anyone ???.....as I'd like to make him an offer :daumenhoch:

I sold a Nos 88 about a year ago with Bars for £230, so I guess a used repowdered one will be around £125 - £200
-
Won this frame from a decent fella in the US on gaybay for £23 and he posted it with a load of other guff I won, so it owes me about £30 and the cost of the three rattle cans to repaint it white....... Sometimes you get lucky, but it's an early '88 from the serial number - does it look like this?

This one is an early '85 if it helps. Cost a lot more though - was on for £130 for the frame only, but it's mint. Should be built up soon :smitten:

Thanks everyone.....cant fault you all :daumenhoch:
It looks just like the 88 above with the LG's...but has the screw in type fork stand holes.
The gezza recons its about 87, which I think the frame could be....not sure what year the fork standers came out ??
anyway...I have a much better idea of value now thanks to the dudes of Rad, so feel I could make an offer... if he still has it ! ;D
Thanks again everyone, I will let you know how I get on 8)

The fork standers came out in 85 for the Master & Sport, but the FST didn't get them until :-\ not sure, I know my 88 FST had them, but I would guess 86 ???

Adam, yours seems to be a 86 model, some of them came with the forks standers later in this year (assuming the forks are original to the frame, those pegless forks are in fact way rarer than the drilled ones)
Spen, always thought your "mystery" Haro looked like a 89 invert, but your serial is confusing.. No 87 or FST had the front wrapping gusset without rear platforms.
..and Bru, your pic looks like a 87 FST with a sport fork ( fork decals doesn't match the frame, this has been discussed before on here I think ;)

Hi Arnaud - yep, I recall this now. It deffo has the front wrap-around gusset plate and no rear platforms, but it's an 88 at the start of the serial. It's as strong as an ox though, so I ride it off anything and love it :uglystupid2:

Someone beat me to it, it went for £100 :daumenhoch:
