Had mobo cross brand new in 1972..friggin loved it..orange & beautiful…sissy bar was chrome with back pad..gear shift was not indexed..had a wooden MB knob
I HAD ONE! And loved it, my one had a 3 speed Huret derailleur and the gear shifter was huge with a big rubber gaiter. The sissy bar was chromed and the saddle was white.
I did another couple of videos on this. Didn’t take it back to perfect. Just cleaned and serviced most things. I was unable to find the 3 speed shifter, so decided to make it rideable for the next guy. Think they have kept as is and simply ride it for fun.
I had a Cross 70 when I was a child it was slightly different the tyres are the correct. The gear shift was 3 speed with a shifter similar to the Riley Cooper. With a Tbar design. The seat was white with 2 or 3 red stripes, there was a matching backrest that could be adjusted up & down. The back support bar is original it was chrome.
Can honestly say i had one in 1973 , at the time i hated it because all my mates had choppers and it was just a cheap ugly alternative at the time. HOWEVER , id love to own one now and not a chopper , its so cool !!!
Cissy bar was chrome from memory, I'm a graphic designer, if yo can send me images of the frame sticker and dimensions I could try to reproduce it for you
Ive got one of these, ive got the gear stick the derailleur all in fair condition, not got the seat or sissy bar. But everything is original, have you still got it ?
@@tonyhomeboy no it got sold about 12 months ago. By the sounds of it you’ve got the hardest to find parts. The sissy bar and banana seat are easy to find - after market ones match up pretty well.
@TheRestorationShack I'm selling mine,it's 50% restored, frame and forks repainted in orange. Everything is original except the rear wheel. How much would you say its worth, because I havnt a clue 🤔

Yeah, knew this had missing parts, looked online everywhere, couldnt source one. New owner is doing a full resto on it.
Would love to see part 2…the bike looking like new again !!!
