MISSION RAMP RAGE FRAME ?????
theRuler:
Mission took average no name frames and stickered them up as their own. Put some ok parts on, and they sold for 300+, in the mid 90's.
The later ones (like you have) were mostly copies of existing frames (anyone remember the standard shorty copies - same kinda deal).
The complete bikes were ok, at first. But they did have some fruity components, like snake posts.
I have a mission "pulse" in my attic. It was an ok bike, cost £330 back in 1996.
Came with odyssey brakes, quando sealed hub 48's and a slew of copy components. And some evil bear traps.
I have a feeling that mission prior to 1996 also made the bike called the "totally integrated trick system" with unfortunate decals that read: T.I.T.S. (and was the same as the "pulse")
My friend "Jim" owned the mission pulse that I still have. A standard joke was asking Jim to get his tits out.

cheers gra.
i had a feeling you'd know something about it.
just glad its not a tit bike with this lot on here :LolLolLolLol:
theRuler:
The TITS bike was actually not bad!
I think Fishbone also used these frames with their complete bikes too.
The Pulse bike (like your frame) had some horrific graphics too.
But, it got my mate Jim riding again in 1996.
Another mate at the same time bought a Raleigh bike - called (lol) the ALAGANDO SPIN (or something like that)
Bear in mind this was pretty much pre internet days, and we would buy complete bikes from car spares shops!
I myself bought an RL240. fooking loved that bike, and rode the wheels off it. I still have it too.
