Hi all - im sure this will be in the archives but we can't search them

What was the opinion on the 2009 FST? Looks pretty hot to me and I would buy one tomorrow given the chance. I seem to recal reading that the 2009 messed up in a few areas; maybe the frame is slightly different??

ta,

Paul

Tragic.

Thought the 2009 was a Haro master with modern geometry. Chrome with black tuffs. If it is it is not full chromo tubing but a nice looking bike all the same

Love modern Haro much better that the Early 80's crap

Good tactic: if something you have overpriced does not sell (because its overpriced), increase the price to make your original inflated price look cheap..

How much doe it cost these people to stick up eBay adverts, week after week, without selling? I thought you pay fees even if no sale??

Rare thing these, I had one when they came out and it was frowned upon by the purists. Good investment though as they have gone up in value!

the 09 Freestyler is a Dave Mirra frame with a twin top tube configuration added. They got it all very wrong in my opinion and missed there best opportunity to get some association with the brand heritage. It bares very little resemblance to anything on the original, apart from the decals i guess. Its a case of not understanding the market because if the bike was aimed at us, i'm a little insulted
