1985 General Hustler Pro

Early Hustler Pro

I paid $50 for this bike about 15 years ago. It was complete and all original. I rode it for about 2 years straight then sprayed it flat black when bought a new GT. It was then pulled apart and I had the frame painted blue by a body shop. My father threw out the brakes and the rotor was removed by a bike shop when I brought it in for a tune up after i first bought it. I want to restore it back original.

thanks for the pics. all i need to know is what calipers the bike had. its the only parts i'm missing. i know the levers were chang star tech 4's because i found one.

the calipers look like changstar 980's which I think was the number,I believe the bike is a 1986 model.

can you post pics of the calipers and levers? and a pic from the right side? and also pics of the stem. i need a new one as mine is stipped out i think. need to know what kind it is.

does it have a cable guide on the upper bearing raise for a rotor? mine does.

i thought mine had differnt lettering. i thought there was purple in it. i guess i was wrong though. it was so long ago that i last saw it as it was new. i checked the lettering on the forks and it looks the same.

also i think it is pre '86, because '86 i think was the first year Osborne and Blood signed on with them. i think these bikes were from before that.
