Mr Magoo's Hyper Metro
« on: December 06, 2013, 01:31 PM »
Picked this up last week from Bof. He told me a few Radsers have owned it. So been wondering who's had it and to see if anyone can give me any info on the head tube sticker (pretty sure it's not OG). Gonna stay as is for the time being but thinking about eventually getting it re-powdered and wouldn't mind getting the same stickers made up.  :daumenhoch:
Think it looks cool as fook with Mr Magoo up front.  8)

Who the fook's Mr Magoo apart from an animated old pensioner with eyesight difficulties.   :LolLolLolLol:
Your trans purple one sounds nice Andy. Not stripped it yet but Bof reckons this used to be purple too.
Wanna swap ?   :D

 Hello...
 That well may have been my old one..I remember whoever I sold it to thought the purple was a bit too much and stripped it..Shame..If it was mine, it was Dingo's and before that possibly Mattdub's ..Definitely a bit of a Rad trail there..
 There's a pic of when I had it here:
http://bmxmuseum.com/bikes/hyper_bike_company/30096
 I think I may have the serial number too, so I'll dig it out..
 That may well be chrome under all the paint (if you strip it go slowly and you might be lucky!!)
 I've got some OG Decals around somewhere too, I was saving for another one (I'd love to get a 24", but they're kinda rare..)so give me a shout if you get going on it.
 As said before..They ride really well, enjoy.

Pretty sure Del does these decals as well if you are still looking for some. Strange that there is no chrome under yours. Unless it was originally black, all their other colours were trans colours over chrome. As has been said before, they are great bikes.

Stripped it down last week as it goes and there are traces of purple inside the bb. Someone must have had the chrome/purple stripped off and had it coated. Don't think it's powder though, seems like some kind of plastic type coating. Was gonna just rebuild as is but thinking a fresh powder job and new stickers is in order. Didn't think Del did 90's decals.
Black with purple stickers and a few purple bits maybe.  ???

Correct.  :daumenhoch: Eric Carter designed the geometry of the Pro, and Brian Foster came up with the geometry of the Pro XL.

 Ahh..Chewy, that was it...It'd be nice to see how it's looking now though.. ;)

 ...As for decals, I think the ones I have are red? I'd have to check..
