I agree, nice bikes!
But what's the classic metal behind them?

I had a Giant ATX 770/780? of a similar vintage but with cantis like yours did and was originally rigid but I had fitted some mach V's until some miserable pr!ck broke into our place and stole it one Christmas eve. Twas a beautiful dark metallic green with a chameleon effect that went a bronzy/brown colour when the light changed.This was in my group at a social ride this morning. Similar to a Wheeler hardtail I bought in early '95 and raced for 2 seasons. Except mine was a different colour, had cantis and those cheap Zokes (the owner actually has the Zokes and reckons they're still in good nic).
Check out the bullmoose bars! Bike would have come with a flat bar and these look like a modern version but still awesome to see on the trails.
Such a cool bike, made me kinda sad I was riding something new.

I have an original smoke and dart sc2.2 in my shed black wire beads, your welcome to them if you want. Only prob i'm in Perth so postage would probably kill it.So I want to order up some tyres to get the Mongoose rolling, Panaracer Smoke/Dart reissues. White's Bikes in Melb has them at $80 a piece. I want two rear and a front. 2 from White's costs more than 3 from Bike Components DE, shipped. WTF. I really don't want to order from overseas. But damn that kind of saving makes it hard. I'm going to ask White's whether he can do them a bit cheaper.
Mate, if they are in rideable condition hell yeah! I got rid of the 2.2 white ones in the above photo back a few posts as they'd gone a bit hard and were fraying on the tan wall, display only. I was looking at doing tubeless with the new ones which is probably not gonna fly with old ones but this is a good option to get it going.I have an original smoke and dart sc2.2 in my shed black wire beads, your welcome to them if you want.

I'll dig them out tomorrow and take a few snaps, from memory they looked a lot better than some minions I saw someone selling on bookface recentlyMate, if they are in rideable condition hell yeah!

Not really my sort of frame but for that price it's worth having a slap of a buck or two. Currently highest bidder but not going much highet@safreek Were you lusting after a Jekyll earlier ?
