Looks like an Indy. S came in a black finish, possibly swapped decals later in life.

For a slow build, the parts are coming along nicely. My idea of a slow build is measured in years, and multiples thereof :) Looks fab and can’t wait to see it finished.

Road Bars. Curly ones with funny brake levers. On a mountain bike? It'll never catch on...

Massive thumbie fanboy here. I remember reading a pro's rides article in MBUK back in the day, that I think was about a Pace that could well have belonged to Brant Richards. They did a series with a one page spread of the bike and then an overview. It mentioned upside down thumbies. Being...

Finish line citrus. Works pretty well and rivals GT85 for nose friendliness

The lock is likely to be a deterrent rather than for prevention - so I'd look for something with a combination so there's no key to inevitably lose. Not sure what aspiring thief would be looking for a kids bike (takes all sorts) but if they are tooled up it wont really matter. Kryptonite...

Turner looks spot on. Think if you squint hard enough it might even have a Turner logo on the linkage plate now I'm on a monitor not my phone. Definitely worth picking up if it's going cheap

Surely that can’t have been an off the peg size? That’s enormous.

Look like maguras which would not have been standard on a terrago. That crank looks like it might be better than it should be as well. Lights look like the old BLT/Nightsun type front light that had a kilo of batteries either hung off the top tube or stuffed in a faux water bottle.

Forks do look like Shivers Frame looks like an Ellsworth, at least the rear triangle. Whether it is or not is another matter. Could FTW have used an Ellsworth rear end in that same way as some (Mongoose) used AMP?

I like that a lot, would be a great project - but not enough to brave the moronic process of trying to buy something on marketplace 😞

Bought some bars, ends and a post. Arrived quickly, and I doubt you'll find something better packed!

Never seen one of these before. Factory issue? What’s the backstory?
