Help ID This please
« on: September 12, 2009, 12:02 AM »
Help Id ing this would be good :daumenhoch: Some nice bits but I'm an early 80's man and this seems later although a looptail. The brake bridge has a plate welded over to take the later brake (is this original??) Back end is mongoose'ish but forks don't look right, have S&M decal??
Bars are Redline, GT stem, Araya 7x's, mongoose 1 piece with logo, pedals JMC (DX look), fishbone seat and post with integrated guts.


Cheers in advance guys :daumenhoch:

It'll be an add-on (also the serial number on the BB or BB gusset will tell you the year it was made, it'll be something like M?-XXXXX where ? represents the last digit of the year of production in the 80's i.e. M4 = 1984  :daumenhoch:

Can't help you on the forks - mongoose stuff 1975-1986 is all I collect and they don't fall in that category  ;)
