I have 2 sets for mine, a pair of Cycle pro's and gen 1 LG's

. Most 78 and 79 SE's had Cycle pro forks as standard but a lot of the pro's also used Cook's, Skyway Tuff's re painted and SE decals and sometimes Redline.

Theres 1 exception and that used Mongoose Team forks

Definitely looking forward to seeing this one built

Cheers Marty, was going to be a slow build but already have the rims, bars, forks, stem and tyres

thanks fella, they were sold as frame only and made from 77-78

Devilock · « **Reply #41 on:** September 19, 2012, 06:04 PM »

That is one of the best frames Ive ever seen, fu*king amazing.

Its in fantastic condition Ash.

Looks way ahead of its time (as is the R&R).

Cant wait to see this built.

KING-FUNKY!

kungfunky · « **Reply #43 on:** September 22, 2012, 10:18 PM »

Thanks fellas

really enjoying sourcing parts for this and I seem to be covering all bases with colour options etc, heres the stem I've chosen for it. A NOS 76/77 Mijon twin clamp.

rad_pitt · « **Reply #44 on:** September 23, 2012, 12:17 AM »

Love how primitive that looks Ash - kind of trail blazing in 76, when most were using goosenecks. Lovely rare bit of kit

kungfunky · « **Reply #45 on:** September 24, 2012, 09:05 AM »

your spot on Tom, its a great looking stem and in some ways ahead of its time. I have a cook stem to use on it but didnt want to go down that route but instead use some parts not often seen. Forks all sorted and i've opted for some chrome Ashtabulas.

kungfunky · « **Reply #46 on:** January 28, 2013, 07:39 PM »

Had some time spare on Sunday so decided to build the Foiler up. Really like this but I think I'll change the clamp for a blur one and when the Aggressors land I'll put them on it too.
