1986 Mongoose All Terrain Pro

Some quick pics of the tank that just came together. From the peak of Suntour friction goodness. Fairly original condition, I added B17 saddle, TB-II reissues, Ritchey grips and Wellgo shin shavers.

I like that a lot - It almost looks nickel plated instead of chromed on my monitor here

Yeah, now thats retro Love it. Was always amused by the height of suntours shifters back then, compared to M700s they were huge.

Absolutely B.E.A.U.T.Y.F.U.L. bike!! A bit before my time, but I really hope to do one of the bikes from that are as well (hopefully a Ritchey).

Really great looking bike and just about as retro as they come for me.

I love this period. The posh bikes of the 84-87 period had the Shimano Deerhead groupset (prior to M730 XT) but the cheaper Japanese models nearly always had this interesting Suntour mix & match going on. I have a Muddy Fox Monarch (see below), it has the same gemoetry, nice flat top tube which feels like it dips forward towards the raked forks, makes for a very enjoyable ride.

IS it just me or does that Muddy Fox frame really stupendously look similar to a raleigh frame??? If I wouldn't know any better I'd say it's a resprayed Raleigh (from back then, I mean).

Could be wrong, though... since my Raleigh has passed away long ago :cry:
