After endless stick from RADsters and fellow Northern Monkey's on the rides out , often ending with the song '' get ya'self an 80's bike ''  ;D ...... all this despite my Ripper being an 87 !!  ::)   I decided i had to do something about it .

Here's my new rider , should make it's RAD debut darn sarf in a few weeks time  8)


1983 ...... that's  83!!  mongoose pro class .





















Spec :

1983 mongoose pro class frame and forks
Pro Class rims laced to SR hubs
Cheng Shin Comp III tyres both 20 x 1.75
Pro Class pro sized mongoose bars (maurice stamped)
Pro Class power disc / 44T Takagi chainring
Redline twin pinch cranks
Suntour XCII pedals
Renthal alloy seat post
Kashimax MX seat
Dia Compe MX900 , Dia Compe Tech 3 and DC cable
Izumi chain
Tioga MX2 headset
Tange lock nut
Mongoose repro grips
ACS stem
Tange seat clamp
1983 spec padset



Purist's won't like the twin pinch cranks but it is a rider and the only other cranks i would put on it are original pro class cranks and i ain't got any of those ............ yet  :D

A few thank you's go to Bobafett (mr mongoose currently MIA  :( )  Andy DTTDB for the DC MX900 , Ant Factory Pilot for the Kashi Mx and Del  . Thanks lads  :daumenhoch:


Cheers

Joff  :)

Not really a big fan of coloured tyres tbh Glen but most of the Pro Class's i have seen always go down the Black and chrome route and i just wanted to do something different and with a real 80's look  .



Thanks for all the comments lads , appreciated  :4_17_5:
