I am trying to restore a mongoose 1986 Decade (peppermint green) to its former glory and I need some info on a few of the parts below.

White tyres Potentially Sorted
Brake setup inc levers levers Sorted
Chain ring and spider
Seat post
White grips

Anyone knowing what the exact items above are please let me know I'd really appreciate it.

Decades are a bit past my mongoose collecting range but here goes - fairly sure it's......

White tyres = Cheng Shin skinwall freestyle

Brake setup inc levers = Odyssey drilled freestyle front caliper or DC880, lee chi or DC centre pull rear (unless it's a decade pro then it's an AD990 mount jobby on the rear) Tech 5 levers

Chain ring and spider = takagi style, if not actual takagi, think the chainring is SR - have to check on my FS1 as they're the same (decade pro had pro-class disc and SR211 ring)

Seat post = Odyssey layback

White grips = mongoose

Hope that helps ! As I say bit late for my collecting range !
