THATS THE BEST DECADE IVE SEEN, WOULD YOU BE INTERESTED IN SELLING IT.

THERE IS A DECADE PRO IN MINT CONDITION ON EBAY RIGHT NOW BUT OUT OF MY PRICE RANGE.

Thats actually a pretty fair price, it would half to have the original ACS RL Edge equipment for me to even think about bidding though. By the way Ill take 800 for my 87 Decade Pro

LOOKS LIKE THE DECADE PRO ON EBAY JUST DROPPED DOWN FROM $785 TO $685 PLUS THEY ARE OFFERING FREE SHIPPING, IS THAT A GOOD DEAL?

There is one just like this one on ebay right now but I dont know if the asking price is too high.

Yeah +1 I was thinking the same thing. 

What were the original tires that came on this bike?  Were they white?

A.C.S  RL edge  100 psi tires

They were available in white or black with gumwalls

So it came with both colors?

Aw man... n i c e

I was wondering, does the 1988 Mongoose Decade Pro also have a fixed gear rear hub switching mechanism like the "ACS Freetrack Hub" on the '87 Decade Pro?

I found a brochure online that says the '88 has the "ACS RL rear hub" - so I assume it's either an improvement on the fixed gear switching system or an abandonment of that innovation. 

I'm really curious.  I just learned about this hub/freewheel and I've been researching it.  I don't even know how the rider activates the "switch" - I don't see an extra lever anywhere.  I don't even know if the system is in the hub or on the freewheel but I did find this cool page: http://www.63xc.com/daves/sunone.htm Is this the ACS Freetrack Hub, ACS RL rear hub or something else?  It's really cool, check it out.

Do you or anyone else ever ride a BMX in fixed gear?  I imagine in must feel like a 2 wheeled unicycle which would certainly open up a whole new world of tricks - and the freedom to switch back to freewheel makes it seem even better but this innovation seems to have been abandoned.  Is that true or are they still out there under different brand names?  I find lots of flip-flop hubs but not many examples of a switch that does it without having to flip your hub around. 

Sorry for all the questions but this is the only '88 Decade Pro on the museum (that must be a cool feeling) so I thought I'd ask here.

All the Best!

The RL edge hubs were a freewheel that did not allow the pedels to rotate backwards when rolling backwards I believe, if my mind serves me correctly.

ive just finished my survuvor build on my 1987 mongoose decade pro.
87 pink one have the "freektrack" rear hub and the 88 black frames have the RL freecoaster rear hub.
also the 88 have the bosses in the rear of the frame for the screw in pegs to be mounted.
87 pink ones dont have that.
check my 87 pro out in my bike section....its as good as this 88
