Hey guys
Picked up this tredda this morning from a bootsale.
Paid £50 for it so might be a bit rich? I dont know.
Just loved the style & the gusset's.
Anyway....here it is.
I am going to start stripping it down later & clean it all up.
Any info on make / year etc would be appreciated
Thanks in advance

No idea what that is mate, but cleaned up that should make a nice enough rider
Think the bars/brakes/wheels are a more recent addition, nothing wrong with that though
That 6 bolt stem is quite interesting too

PS welcome to

Cheers buddy. Didn't think it would be a gold mine by any means but an interesting ride for sure. I think I will just clean it up and run it as it is

Liking the frame, something a little different. Quality of the welds scream low end jobbie but still looks cool

I think the stem is an Odyssey.

Cheers guys

Thinking of just slinging some mags on it and just burning it about for the summer

Plenty good enough to thrash around for the summer,you can always upgrade parts as you go like we did back in the day.....

Frame looks like it has a Mongoose theme to it. $:-\$

When you clean it up look for any hidden stamps, for example maybe one on the fork steerer tube.
