Three builds one bike 24" Proclass mongoose

(1/3) > >>

So I bought the frame and forks in 2014 and built a rider.  I sold it as I got a lot of stick saying it's not real bmx as it's not 20". I'm suprised as I normally ignore other s and do my own thing. Last year I decided a cruiser would be beneficial due to a few health issues and decided to try and get the big goose back.  I eventually traced it and was given the opportunity to own it again. This time I decided I would add better parts and changed everything except frame, forks and bars. I used if last year and even won at MK which was a shock as it was my rider not me actual entry. Knowing it needed a repaint I set about finding a variation to black. I wanted to stay black as I felt the colour worked with components. So how about a proclass black but not over chrome.  Challenge sent to mark Ralph who in my mind cracked it. Pics show first build with 90s araya then rebuild with all new parts and then how it looks now.

I must add that a suggestion made by Chris Hurn and Warren Eales of Bmx products turned out well. Warren has allowed the bike to wear prototype decals not factory. They are made by bmx products and are a one off :smitten:
