The 1985 Haro FST designates that this bike is for freestyle, street or track riding, and is the first affordable freestyle bike. The short wheelbase and moderately steep head angle delivers quick, controlled performance. A Sport top-tube configuration, DiaCompe front and rear brakes, 4130 chromoly tubing, down-tube gusset, and chromoly cranks add up to freestyle; but the light UKAI alloy rims, Suntour free-wheel, National Panaracer tires and overall fun handling make this a great street bike and, believe it or not, an acceptable racing bike, You can't afford to own a freestyle bike for less than this. The FST comes in day glow red, white and chrome.
