1984 Andy Ruffell Mongoose Pro Class Race Replica
« on: December 13, 2009, 06:04 PM »
As you all probs know i was a massive fan of Andy Ruffell back in the day and have already done a 1985 TEAM Raleigh Aero Pro "Andy Ruffell" Race Replica. So because im such a Mongoose fan anyways i just had to do a copy of Andys Race bike from 1984. Used to look through BMX Action Bike Hot Shots Book and drool over Andys bike and wish i could have one just like his. My mam could'nt afford a Pro Class back in the day but i did get a Supergoose and loved it. Anyways 25 years later ive managed to build a bike just like the one i always wanted and have gone for the early 84 bike that was in the BMX Action Bike Book and on the front cover of the Mongoose 1984 Brochure. Just wanna say a big thanks to DB250F, n2cus, JT Smooth, Del, kennyhunter6061 and John Cook Signs Carlisle, could not have done it without all your help, thanks.  :daumenhoch:

That is one if not the best build I've seen this year, I love rider reps, they take so much more work to complete  :4_17_5:

I saw Andy Ruffell on a Mongoose back in 84 or 83 at Rom & he was with a young Neil Ruffell also on a Mongoose with blue Tuffs, they were both great riders  8)
