Looking for a bit of advice from any Mongoose guys.
I am trying to finish off my 83 Supergoose 3 to original spec and I am not sure which Dia Compe levers it would have come with, I am thinking Tech 3`s ?
Anyone know for sure, I don`t want to spend ages looking for the wrong ones !!
Cheers :daumenhoch:
-
It should be a DC pre-bent lever bud. Tech 2 was on the Pro Class.
-
I dunno Chris, my Supergoose 3 survivor had Tech 3's. :daumenhoch:
-
supergoose 3 has tech3 but not dia compe, branded their own brakes as pro class
-
You may well be right.
I was going by the 82/83 catalogue, but if Mongoose are anything like Kuwahara seeing it in a catalogue doesn't necessarily make it so... :buck2:
-
I had one new for christmas in 1983, eventually swapped them to DC, there was a lot of own brand parts on them

Mine is an 84 (Ammaco UK Model), so who knows how many different specs there were? ???

You see this is what i'm talking about…
The 84 has Tech 3s but Pro Class bars, Renthal bars don't appear in either the 83 or 84 catalogue :crazy2:
Nice looking survivor you have there Dan :daumenhoch:

Lee Chi branded Pro Class calipers and levers... got a full set front and back in alloy if anyone wants em :daumenhoch:

Cheers Chris, it's only a semi survivor sadly now, I stripped it down in April 2011 and polished and restored as much as I could. Some parts were beyond fixing though.
