Title: Number 4 of 5, my new ride 87 Haro
Post by: WINI on August 16, 2011, 07:32 PM
Finally finished my new rider, an '87 Haro FST.  Not meant to be completely era correct as you can see from the pics, but more like a bike I would have wanted to build back in the day.

Massive thanks to Brett for sorting out some tired and frankly dead looking Z-48's.

Haro FST Frame
Unstamped Landing Gear forks
ACS Z-48 rims and ACS hubs
DC 901 Brakeset
Peregrine powerdisc
Sugino crank
Haro Bars
Dominator Seat
Oddy Barefeet tyres

Hope you like  :daumenhoch:

nice build, however, that'll be an FST not a Sport... (87 gusset with 85 stylee rear platforms).

Awesome Mark, just awesome. I wanted to keep them Z's when I saw them, and I love the brake block solution :coolsmiley:

Some people have no taste though, like that Brummie lad :crazy2:

Oh, and a 19.5" TT with a steeper head angle, longer single-tube length on the TT etc etc..... and it flies better than any Master or FST I've had = Sport. Nuff said :knuppel2:

Love it, now get it thrashed at the Boardroom Mark, they're not for just looking at you know >:D

It could be an FSX definitely not a Sport... Shorter frame, Tri-moly not CrMo  ;)

Here's the 87 Catalogue: You can see the Sport/FST/FSX side by side http://www.ajkbikes.com/downloads/catalogs/1987%20Haro%20Catalog.pdf

Cheers matey, no its not in BOTM mainly because its not factory correct, but I guess some of like em like we had bitd with parts from all over the place.  Who ever kept their bike exactly as they got it?  :2funny:

No problem mate :daumenhoch: and thats how I think too, nobody did, I've only ever saw basic raleigh burners in factory survivor condition. I can't leave my bikes alone so my won't ever be factory correct :2funny:
