Looking for a bit of advice from any Mongoose guys.

I am trying to finish off my 83 Supergoose 3 to original spec and I am not sure which Dia Compe levers it would have come with, I am thinking Tech 3`s ?

Anyone know for sure, I don`t want to spend ages looking for the wrong ones !!

Cheers  :daumenhoch:

It should be a DC pre-bent lever bud. Tech 2 was on the Pro Class.

You may well be right.

I was going by the 82/83 catalogue, but if Mongoose are anything like Kuwahara seeing it in a catalogue doesn't necessarily make it so...  :buck2:

You see this is what i'm talking about…

The 84 has Tech 3s but Pro Class bars, Renthal bars don't appear in either the 83 or 84 catalogue  :crazy2:

Nice looking survivor you have there Dan  :daumenhoch:

Cheers Chris, it's only a semi survivor sadly now, I stripped it down in April 2011 and polished and restored as much as I could. Some parts were beyond fixing though.
