Title: For Haro experts
Post by: se-bmxer on November 21, 2009, 12:35 PM

I've got this NOS Haro FST F&F's and i've been told this one is an 86 Haro Sport reprayed by Haro and re-decaled as an FST
is this right or absolute crap and if right then why ?

serial number is 86074707

Jai, Has it got collars on headtube and machined b/b? I think......FST's didn't have them and Sports did, on 84 / 85 models. I'm no professor on Haro's though. No way. I know heaps about wagon wheels and boobs though if your ever stuck.  :yahoo_silent:

Coaster brake mount is wrong for 84 and 85-cool frame set whatever the experts conclude  :daumenhoch:.

I think early FST frames didn't have the plate behind the bottom bracket & the top tube is shorter.
Could be bollox or I dreamt it.

I'm pretty damn sure Sport's had a longer TT than FST's - measure it and one of the experts on here will tell you :daumenhoch:

I know I'm not dreaming on that one as I have one of both but they're both '88s so not the same animal..... :coolsmiley:

You are quite right Jai, this is a 86 sport sprayed and decalled as an 87 fst. The serial will read 8607 in the dropout and it will be gleaming chrome under that paint. The forks are 87's though i think

I have had a couple before and they have chrome underneath, non wrapped headtubes, 86 serials, rear standers, machined bb shells and head tubes, 19.5" headtubes. These are chrome 86 sports no doubt.

yep it's 19.5 TT but this one has no chips in the paint work so can't say if it's chrome underneath
