1982 Mongoose Pro Class

This is my last build for a while, my updated 1982 Mongoose Pro Class. This is the third incarnation of this frame since I have owned it and I am finally happy. The frame and forks have been stripped of the chrome and re-plated in black nickel by Precision Plating in Melbourne, Australia. The bars are re-chromed, Maurice stamped, uncut Pro Class with BMX Products grips. The wheels are NOS Pro Class Series III hard anodised rims laced to NOS Suzue hubs (low flange on the rear, high on the front) by Source BMX, wrapped in Cheng Shin Snake Belly fat/thin tyres. The cranks are mint Pro Class 3-piece on a Pro Class sealed bearing bottom bracket and NOS Pro Class Power Plate / Takagi 44T chain ring. The pedals are NOS SR-468s. The headset is Mongoose stamped and the stem is a mint, polished ACS Pro Class. The brakes are Dia-Compe MX1000 with an NOS Tech 3 lever. The seat post is Ishiwata and the clamp is a mint, vintage Dia-Compe MX. The seat is an NOS Kashimax Aero. The decals and grips are from BMX products. Retrogoose Bike of the Month, October 2014.
