Are those 700c road tires? Did what size rim do tou have? 2.125? Did you have to stretch the road tire at all

I hope that's a 22.6mm diameter seat post instead of a far more common 7/8" (22.2mm) diameter seat post. You'll damage your frame if you clamp a 7/8" seat post in there without a 22.2-to-22.6mm shim. If it is 22.6mm, where did you find it? Also, you have it adjusted really high. Is it inserted to the minimum depth marking? You can get Pro Class lookalike rims from BMXGuru for $40-something each, and you can also get a pair of full wheels built around those rims for around $200. It would be great to have originals, but they are big money, especially if you want ones that are new or like new. Pro Class rims aren't the only things you're missing, by the way. Those handlebars are wrong too. The handlebars that came on Mongoose loop tails for several years in the 1980s had a very high cross bar, about as high as the grips, and Cru's bike had those stock handlebars. His two best friends' bikes had them too, because they were Blue Max brand, which was just Mongoose under a different name (made by BMX Products, Inc., same as Mongoose). Your XC-II style bear trap pedals are wrong too. Cru's bike had the stock platform pedals (SR P-468), complete with the stock reflectors still attached. Your Viscount Dominator seat is wrong. Cru's bike had the stock seat which was a Selle Royal Aeroyal lookalike. Your hinged Dia-Compe seat post clamp is the right type, but it was silver on Cru's bike (which is the stock color) rather than blue. Your A'ME Tri grips are wrong. You can buy officially licensed reproductions of the stock Mongoose grips which were made using the original molds, for about $30, from the same place that I assume you got your reproduction decals from. And it should have small diameter axle pegs on the back. Remember the scene where Cru's sister was riding on his pegs?

We love this movie to this day! I can still do a rock walk, wheelie-cat walk, rear tire 360, and other tricks, but they’re actually easier on my mountain bike for the most part. The Cru Jones Murray can’t be confused with a mongoose due to the rear end. Mongoose used a single tube bent into a U rather than tubing being welded together to the rear axle drop ins.

I have 2 1984 Skyway TA’s, Mongoose Pro Class, and 2 Hutch Pro Stars, and 1 Hutch Trick Star that my brother and I have had since new in the 80’s. All original chrome finish, we never had painted bikes from that time. We liked and wanted a Haro Group 1 RS1, but our parents said we had enough. We also had a 1986 Mongoose Miniscoot that we should have never gotten rid of.
