pro class and cali difference?

[spesh]

can anyone tell me the difference between a mongoose california frame and a pro class frame
as im buying a complete mongoose but not sure what it is

[Bananaman]

Pic would be good, mainly tube sizes and weight

Out then against each other and its pretty easy...

If its a full bike the parts will give it away

[spesh]

i havent got a pic at the moment but it does have the high crossbar on the handlebars and six spoke skyways
the drop outs are on the bottom of the forks and it is loop tailed
cant see the brakes or chainring as ive only seen a photo
its been painted with a brush so im getting it really cheap coz he doesnt know what it is

3 holes in back brake bridge on pro class dont know about cali

3 holes in back brake bridge on pro class dont know about cali

yep 3 holes in brake bridge on pro class, 1 on the cali 

also dropouts on the pro class are very thin compared to the cali, rear triangle on the pro class is chunky as hell, the cali tubes are much thinner...i could go on

cheap is good

lots of differences between the two you mention
but also the supergoose came in two specs
which could look like either of the two you mention as well
UK has skinny rear triangle like cali
US has chunky diameter tubes like pro class

pics and more pics
serial might be a help too

some on here is a thread or two about the differences .

cheers fella,s im hoping to get it saturday so il post the frame number on here and take some pics

[kdw712]

in broad terms

chunky down tube and rear triangle = pro class or US super - pro class F&F weighs 2grams    supergoose F&F 7lbs odd

skinny tubes and rear - UK super or cali or poss an expert ...

Kev - we cross paths again 
(a mongoose thread - like bait to a fish !)
Just on this topic though - how do you tell a USA supergoose 3 from a proclass.
Please excuse my ignorance gentlemen.

moth to a flame 

pro class from US super - hum

well from pics on say ebay you'd be hard pushed
i'm sure some one said there was something diff about the bottom bracket shell on the pro class
but can't find the thread

if you have one next you then weigh that sucka
think a pro class frame is under 4lbs and the fork under 2lbs

some tests on my web page

Just went on a thread hunt myself 
Great minds think alike (and fools seldom differ !) 

Think i found the one - few posts from your good self in there kev and of course from jimmyp

Here ya go folks : http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php'topic=60896.0

Yeah it's all in the cup lead-in to the BB and thickness of the dropouts and BB tube - almost impossible to tell from a built up bike with pro class decals on it i would say

Waza over a vintagemongoose has a stack of the original fabrication blueprints
love to get a full size set of those 

prob answer all these questions too

which would be nice

You're not gonna do a welding class at night school and start nockin out pro class frames are you kev
