For me it's between the HLT for the blinging attention to detail (I do not question his commitment to sparkle motion) :coolsmiley: and the Scorpion for the pure nostalgic boy-joy it gives me :D :smitten:

Great month once again though so great work and little bit of man love to all :daumenhoch:
I think I've been loved-up by a Scorpion this morning :-*

Post by: Spen69 on April 29, 2009, 01:52 PM: Damn it. With Hutch's and HLT's in the mix this month, what chance do we mere mortals stand?

My second Pro-class build, and I've entered it now as I'm praying that Neil (n2cus) will not have his (my old one!) re-done in time for this month end. Non of this bike is NOS, it's all restored from the dead, so here goes......

1983 First gen Mongoose Pro-class frame and forks - repaired and pe-painted by FHMreader - cheers again Mark - you're getting better each one you do :daumenhoch:
Pro-class wheels re-anno'd and rebuilt with new Suzue's
Pro-class bars (re-chromed) and blue Sugino stem (with scars)
DC MX thou's (totally minty) and Tech4's (let's face it, if I wanted a pair of mint blue Tech 3's, I'd have to take out a new mortgage)
GT seatpost, well shagged blue Kashi Aero and a blue FS (not DC, haven't got money to burn) minged clamp
Single-pinch Flights with new sealed BB (just luuuuuuurve these - waiting for a blue decal set when I see Del next)
Mongoose grips (repops - cheers Bill Curtain)
Genuine NOS Mongoose blue Padset..... oh bugger.... sorry, they're NOS. I could put them on another bike if it makes then non-NOS :2funny:
Tange headset (with scars)
MKS202 pedals (ridden on my other Pro-class, complete with scars and dirt)
Cheap but new tyres (got some Cheing Shin's, but that means more work to put them on and I haven't had time)

Enjoy, please vote for me, and the cheque's in the post for all those of you who do :LolLolLolLol:

Spen :daumenhoch:

I've been so darn busy with my (nearly) 8 month-pld daughter taking up my spare time Arnaud that I forgot I already have a set to put on it :idiot2:

I'm gonna give it a final scrub before I do though, as it looks like it was in Iraq with all the scuffs :-\
