I have a '88 NOS frame in Teal/Chrome that I'm considering building up. I also have an '85 NOS 'Beat and realise from previous research that the earlier 'beats were sold as F/F only so there was no specific spec.

So mainly my question is is in '88 was it possible to buy a complete rider? If so what was the spec list.

Just pondering my options, even if there were completes available it doesn't mean I would follow that path but just want to make a considered decision, of course I may just leave it in its plastic warpper and put it back in the box $:-\$

They were available as completes. The mk1's were just f and f, the two tones were offered as completes and so were the next gen. i am not sure of the exact spec but i do know they came with a turbo disc! stevesredvxr is your man, he will know the spec of the 88 completes

Pickle knows his shite with these too, he’s had a couple of later ones.

Thanks all, I'll wait for the Streetbeat Gurus to educate me.

Another tip while you’re waiting, is visit the Skyway section in the museum on here, chances are that someone has posted pics of a NOS complete Beat.

They only made them for a year or so,,,,,,i would probably substitute those for Tech 77's unless you have deeeep pockets! a nos set will cost you around $1000

Definitely Tech 7’s but they are mega rare and mega expensive 😄

I’d probably use a chrome and black set of Tech 5’s as a substitute

88's are awesome, interested in seeing some pictures of your frame 👍

Hi Pickle,

Just taken this, if you'd like anymore pics of it let me know. It's pretty much where it was but possibly in the process of turning it into a 'real' project.
