Chrome Mongoose "All Terrain" with SunTour XC thumbies (they seem to work fine). Looks mostly original with diacompe brakes and SunTour MounTech front derailleur. But you know that MounTech rear derailleur self-destructed within a few years. The replacement appears to be a Shimano Light Action Z-series derailleur, which is a very serviceable unit. Maybe I will replace it with a long cage AR or V-GT unit when I get a chance, in order to return it to its SunTour origins.
This one sat around for almost a week before I finally grabbed it. Definitely needs some work, and its not light. Off it goes to my garage attic to wait for its turn in the sun.
Very cool find. Interesting how the Pro model only came in two sizes...
