Extreme Eclipse

Brettels

Retro Guru
Picked this up for the local Rubbish Tip Recyclers.

Dont know too much about it as I cannot find any details on the manufacture of the bike.

The great find on it was the Pulstar Hubs.

Plenty of colour with Blue Hubs, Skewers, Handlebars, Seat Collar and Brake Levers.

Cost was $20.00 Aus.

Thats probably the record for the cheapset ridable bike on the site, and it doesn't look too bad either :)
 
Good find for $20! I got a circa '92 Shogun Prairie Breaker from the tip shop for a bit less but it was far from rideable and rust proved its undoing. Still, sold the DX stuff off it for enough to buy a slab of beer with the profits, haha.

Looks almost identical, bar the decals, to the Dodsun I had briefly so '95 sounds about right.
 
nice find i always try the tip for bikes i went today in fact no bikes but picked up a set of callaway big bertha woods for 50p!
 
After a bit more tinkering, have sort of finished this retro rebuild. All up cost me $40 Aus for the bike and forks. Still have not found out anything about the history of the brand.....
