Sold 1994 Mongoose Amplifier (AMP) Frame/Fork & Chris King Headset

[MSYT]

​

Hey guys I’ve decided to let go this rare frameset. A lightweight aluminium full suspension frameset, designed by AMP and licensed to Mongoose. The frame also comes with the matching AMP fork and a Chris King headset. This has purely been a display bike in my care, with only one ride to see how it rode a few weeks ago. Previously, the last owner polished up the frame beautifully, fitted the AMP rear seatstay brace and resprayed the fork silver. At some point in the past too, the fork steerer has unfortunately been a bit butchered (which was hidden from me unfortunately) meaning I was only able to run a fairly low stack stem with no spacers. The rest of the bike looks fantastic. Polished beautifully. There is some pitting from chain slap and suck on the chainstay but the rest of the frame is spot on. It’s really a piece of mountain biking history and I’d love to keep it but I just have too many at the moment. Frame is 17” centre to top. 100/135mm spacing. Canti mounts 27.2mm seatpost 34.9mm top pull front mech. £450 £300 Chris King headset & seatpost are not included Any more details needed - let me know!

How does the rear canti work on one of these? Is it a standard cable hanger that just sits off centre given the cable routing?

I believe so yes - that's how I ran it anyway

Hey,

Have you got any pics of it built up?

Also, what are the condition and operation of the fork and shock like?
