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 :-\ :LolLolLolLol:
-
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 :daumenhoch:
-
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.
-
And if you have a spare set of MK2 EZ bars lmk lol :daumenhoch:
ps...google skyway on the net theres loadsa info out there :daumenhoch: and obviously loadsa info on here by some very knowledgeable Radsters! :daumenhoch:

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 :shocked:

Nice one Pete....i think i have only ever seen them from above in for sale posts! :daumenhoch:

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

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.

i think i would be tempted to use Odyssey 2000 calipers and RX-3 levers on one of these to tie in with the seatclamp...

That bike is so nice plus you don't see many Red ones?
