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

Cheers Ricky! Well remembered, yeah I had a set of forks but let them go as I had no Haro's........I think thats what they call Sods law

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

curtispro · « **Reply #15 on:** August 17, 2011, 08:57 AM »

Nice build

I think those Z rim decals should be fine with those new see through brake blocks though

Robbo · « **Reply #16 on:** August 17, 2011, 09:37 AM »

Looks great!!

Spen69 · « **Reply #17 on:** August 17, 2011, 10:05 AM »

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

Some people have no taste though, like that Brummie lad

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

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

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?

No problem mate

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
