just some info..
Mongoose Expert BMX bike made in 1985 (so says the sticker on the down tube). Quality cromoly frame in top cond. Some non-original parts inc seat, brakes, levers. Not sure about the rest. Has RARE Skyway tuffs (one has a small chunk out of it that does not detract overall) shod with brand new old stock Cheng Shin Blue BMX tyres. The grips are also NOS 80s.

man, that takes me back! Id pay a hundred just for the nostalgia value!

Rare tuffs? The only skyways I ever saw had 5 spokes not 6.
If they are skyways then yeah theyre rare alright.

Love the aero seat!

 

[monkeymajik]

Couldnt you put the skyways in the freezer to straighten them or simular??
