Title: Mongoose Pro Class - Some new pictures
Post by: stidds on May 11, 2007, 03:27 PM

I know that most of you have seen my Pro Class, but I have just had it completely re-finished, I asked my powder coater for a finish that looked like it was wet and this is what he did, it looks absolutely amazing and it does look as though it is still wet.

This is going up for sale very soon and somebody is going to be extremely happy.

I retired the bike from any sort of racing when I took her around the Sheffield indoor track (albeit slowly).  I couldn't bring myself to race it any longer.

I know that there are always questions about how to tell a Supergoose from a Pro Class and the usual thing is to say weigh the frames.

Well you can tell it is a Pro Class as I have just weighed the whole bike and it comes in at 19 1/2 Lbs.  There is just nothing to it.

aghh man I loved the brown smoke you had before - yours was the only one anywhere near close to the original. That said it is a cracking bike none the less :daumenhoch:

I loved it too Paul, it was just too fragile.  The slightest knock and it needed re-finishing.

I do love this bike Kev, but I have too many bikes so I promised the missus that I would lose some of them, so this and my Pro-Lite CC are going to new homes.
