OK had this funky colour scheme in my head for about 2 years now and just kept changing the parts as more and more interesting 70's bits arrived attached to various frames / bikes I bought over time. Finally got to the point where I was happy enough with the mix.
Some interesting parts like the early redline undrilled forks, early SR double clamp stem and NOS oakley 1's............
Many of these parts where available supplied from mongoose in the 1976-78 catalogues........
Colour mix may not be to everyone's taste but it's definitely got the 70's feel !
Big thanks to Joff for his wonderful painting skills on some of the restored parts here
