Post by: login_user on April 02, 2007, 08:57 PM

Got this from the US Saturday,a 1985 mongoose expert mint condition with original decals including the shop decal,All i've done is changed the wheels until i clean the ones that came with it up.

No it's a US one,but the expert is the same as the Uk super3 full chromo,so the rear stays still come level with the top tube,un like the front triangle Chromo Cali's where the stays are higher then the top tube.  :daumenhoch:
