1993 Mongoose IBOC Pro SX

Thanks. I custom ordered the decals, no skills to do it by myself.

Love it, did you make the decals? I have a blue 1992 Iboc Pro, so your kind of inspiring me! Though not sure I would have the patience to polish to that level.

The light turquoise blue is really beautiful color.

Very beautyful. Good to see something like this saved. One of the few alu frames i'd really like to have. They are said to be bombproof. This is the iconic "Toblerone" frame, named after the top tube..

Mine cracked right through the head tube

So a bit less than bombproof..

Started on the 93 iboc comp, but at some point it was too much work for something I would never ride.
Initially it was to be a commuter for the girfriend, we ended up using a Concorde Kudu (1990?) and that has been totally overhauled and she loves riding it.
The IBOC frame is doing nothing, it was a stunning bike new though.

It will never look as stunning as yours, atleast not by my hand it won't.

Sorry, I was mistaken, realized when I dug through the archives, mine wasn't IBOC, was a Rockadile.
Check it out, the previous owner was riding it like this, I made him take it out of service:

Stunning resto/save. It looks worthy of some nicer groupset parts than the LX.

Thanks., I needed some space in my staple and the geometry was not meant for me, so I sold the bike to member Arilan a year ago. I think the black LX fits the bare aluminum perfectly, but for example the 1992 light turquoise blue looks stunning with XTR M900.

Lovely Having hand polished a frame myself I feel your pain!
