I seem to remember DMC riding a Decade when he went to mongoose.

Pics would be great though.

I've just got a frame and forks and I'd like to really go to town on it ready for MK next year.

Are they classed as old school or mid school?

That's great got any pictures of it, I'm after a picture of an early model.

The one without the screw in pegs for the dropouts.

Thanks Harris, that looks good. What brakes worked on them, were they AD 990's?

harris that is sweet, i do like a 88 decade pro. here's my 87 decade mostly survivour. front brake is an FS 880, rear is center pull. i think the only difference between this and the 87 pro was that the pro was purple and chrome. These also came in white. but thats about as much as i know on that. lol
