Griff... spray it yourself - very satisfyinggot some bits that need a home if you want 'em.- GT Vertigo wheels- various grips- mongoose mid school seat- black GT tyresyours if you want 1.Ed
Ignore the Pro bit-it was just something Mongoose had on all their bikes & means nothing.Looks to be an Importan,Rubens sig bike before moving to Macneil/T1.http://www.bikepedia.com/QuickBike/BikeSpecs.aspx?Year=2001&Brand=Mongoose&Model=Importan&Type=bike
One thing I can say about it - it's pretty heavy! although it does look like it would take a good beating

That's definitely the one, shame it's got such a crap name (importan? sounds like impotent ffs ) Anyway I did the trip to Surrey tonight after work to pick it up and on first impressions I think it's been worth the 27 quid I paid...Since it was dark and absolutely pissing down I haven't really checked it over yet, there's a few rusty scuffs on it & it's a bit shabby but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. the rear wheel at least doesn't appear to be buckled at all and spins quite freely, dunno about the front. The saddle and grips are fooked tho When I got back it was still pissing down so have just bundled it all into the shed for now, will get a better look at it soon but will probably be the weekend before I can start on it - I'll post up some 'before' pics once I can see it in the daylightOne thing I can say about it - it's pretty heavy! although it does look like it would take a good beating cheersgriff
you want it heavy to drop it on Marks foot when he arrives at Creation
Griff,Loose the gyro, on this bike, you aint gonna spin the bars more than once.They add weight, complicate stuff, cost more in cables, and more negative stuff that I can't be bothered to invent!Never had one on a bike i've built, hence having a box full in the shed, never needed one either. Get some photo's up anyway.Mark
looks cool to me mate - should be a good solid rider...
still wrapped up in the back of my car will send em tomorrow dude...
try undoing it the "wrong way" as you put it mate, bb locking nuts are normaly left hand thread, the cone will be the same
