Thinking of selling - Mongoose Eric Rupe
« on: March 10, 2008, 12:05 PM »
I had planned to restore this but a lack of space, time and money mean that that's very unlikely to happen. It's a Mongoose Eric Rupe, Not entirely sure of the year (i've been told 86 and 88) but I can tell you it was owned and raced originally by Russell Breach. I bought it off of him in the mid-nineties and then made it into a bike for my Ex's (then) 7-Y-O. I got it back in December when it looked like the 3rd picture. The Grey paint was scratched up and removing the tatty stickers just took more of it off so I stripped all the paint. The chrome underneath isn't bad. There's the usual marks on the dropouts and one of the dropouts on the forks is a bit worn (I'll take a photo tonight) but overall it's in pretty decent condition. I've got a set of repro Rupe stickers for it too.
I've not seen one of these come up, so I was wondering what sort of money it would be worth. Any ideas?

Steve, give Lee Shurey a shout as he might be interested in it.  I remember Russ riding that, how sad is that  :LolLolLolLol:

He's already PM'ed me! I'll be sad to let it go - I (sort of) had it for 15 years.

If Lee gets it you know it will be in safe hands, unless he rides it  :LolLolLolLol:
