![]() In late 2008, I sold the DJ-3 frame, fork, headset, seat post & clamp as a package. In mid 2008, I dismantled the DJ-3 and used many of the components in building the new bike. Quite by chance, I found a NOS 2004/2005 Terrible One Barcode frame for sale in 2007 and decided to build a new bike around that frame. Since most of the weight was concentrated in the frame (4160g/9.16lb) and fork (1400g/3.08lb), there was little that could be done apart from replacing these items. ,Mosh Expert AL (2000) ,Mosh Expert AL Junior (2000) ,Mosh Expert CM (2000) ,Mosh Mosh CM (2000) ,Mosh Squat (2000) ,Mosh Method (2000) ,Mosh DJ3 (200. Just to be different, I made the top-tube pad in the photos, as nobody else on the street seemed to be using pads by that time! A few years later, I replaced the original wheels with a new set, comprising 48-hole Peregrine MaddMax rims and sealed bearing hubs (these wheels are shown in the photos).Īfter riding the bike for about seven years, I came to the conclusion that it was far too heavy. I managed to get Mosh to send me a new sticker kit for the frame, which I affixed over a background of light blue adhesive vinyl for extra custom effect. ![]() I replaced the original headset with a chromed FSA Pig. I replaced the one-piece crank and steel sprocket with a chromed Profile three-piece crank and a Kink Original sprocket. Aluminium components (rims, hubs, stem, seat clamp, brakes etc.) were re-anodised clear (i.e. The handlebar and seat post were polished and chromed. True to form, I decided to customise the bike as soon as I got it home! The frame and fork were sand-blasted and then powder-coated Lemon Yellow. When I bought my DJ-3, the frame and fork were clear-coated raw steel and the remaining components were black. Apart from the crank, there may have been some other component differences between the DJ-2 and DJ-3. At the time, Mosh offered three versions in the DJ series:ĭJ-1 - frame and fork set DJ-2 - complete bike with three-piece crank DJ-3 - complete bike with one-piece crankĪs far as I could tell at the time, all of the DJ frames and forks were identical.

The pedals are still readily available through any LBS, all they have to do is talk to their Giant dealer. Mosh Handle bars and forks are new old stock, Unsecure image, only https images allowed: Here is one I found on BMXmuseum and then built up for trails/park use: If you want to own a Mosh bike they are still very much available, usually through sites like this one, and ebay. ![]() The last time I talked with Ardelean he told me that the guys have a huge input when it comes to designing the Giant frames, and that they were even thinking about coming out with a 24” for 2009, though who knows now… It’s been over 6 months since I spoke with him and now that half the team split they may be moving in a different direction. Not only does the Method live on with the Giant name, but the Method team bike comes with a large majority of the available Mosh parts already on it, for a premium of coarse ($700+ new). There is still a bike made today that shares the name of an original Mosh in Giant's line up, the Method, though it is set up for dirt/trail and not race as was the original. The parts are sold separately as well as on Giant labeled BMX bikes today. Giant made bikes using the Mosh name until 2003 when it switched to labeling all high end stunt specific parts as Mosh parts. These bikes were priced between $150 to $350, filling in the open entry level price gap that their Mosh labeled high-end bikes could not. ![]() In 2002 Giant signed a three-year sponsor deal with Satellite the company that then managed the former GT Air Show and began making Giant branded bikes in an effort to boost the Giant label. You guys have pretty much got this summed up nicely but I thought I might be able to add some detail as to where they went: Mosh is Giant so buy a Giant BMX then put Mosh parts on it
