My 1985 Haro FST.

Anlum Freestyle Stem
880/901 Brakes with Tech 5 Levers

1987 Haro FST

FST or SPORT you decide
Although this Frame was sold as a 1987 Haro FST the serial number and Geometry say it is an 1986 Haro Sport. Note there is no wrap around on the head tube as you would expect and the top tube length says it is a Sport.  I love these old school anomalies.  The Decals are as it left the Factory and appear to be mismatched with the frame and forks.
I Aquired the Frame and Forks NOS and have yet to be ridden.

NOS Haro Fork standers

(http://i1030.photobucket.com/albums/y370/brettypeeps/4.jpg)

One of my 4 DP Firebird Freestylers from BITD.  This is A chrome one that I had as I got my first lot of sponsorship with a local bike shop called Claude Crimes in Chester.  Loving some of the old components.  Skyway Tuffs with Coaster.  Comp ST Tyres,  Dyno flip down Fork Standers,  Dia Compe MX1000.  No Pots MOD in them Days.  People hadn't heard of a frame whip or Boomerang then.  Your bars used to lock on your seat. 

I used to ride my DP 14 Hours a day.  Oh to be 13 again.

Dave Park was a Visionary and boy were his frames good.

I remember doing them 20 odd years ago and Madferret found a picture from Cologne Germany in 1985 of me doing a Cherry Picker.  This inspired me to have a go at Creation 26th Feb 2011.  I can't believe I didn't finish up eating the concrete.

Now obviously

This is my retro Haro Sport based on the 88 model. I picked this up because I love the paint & chrome combo - Bike is standard other than the following: Haro Kneesavers GT AME grips Panaracer FS Tyres  and a Haro Silver Seat Fusion Clamp.   I purchased this bike to ride it and ride it I have...  I could never even dream about a Haro as a kid because they were so expensive in the UK.  When you are nearly 40 you get some strange looks when you are doing tricks on your old school BMX...  I love it.  

A Nos Haro Sport Retro.  Sold it on EBAY and regretted ever since
