Right then...........

Had this on the go for over 2 years now !  :shocked:

I remember way back in June 2008 Kev (KDW712) sent me a scan of the 1982 UK advert from BMX action. Since then I've been slowly getting all the right bits for her in nice enough condition to go on the build. It hasn't been easy !  ;D

The one thing I had t let go from the original spec was the mongoose snakebellies - never seen a mint set in red in the 2 years of looking and the last set in blue went on US ebay for over $600 !  :shocked:

So I went for union snakebellies instead.

Other than that she's exact, with some hard to find parts like the mongoose seat, 1st gen renthal post and NOS original mongoose grips.

The frame is in very nice condition - original chrome AND original decals.

Full Spec:

1982 supergoose frame & forks (original chrome and decals)
mongoose stamped stainless steel bars
mongoose golds stem (with correct 2nd gen blocks)
NOS original 7/8" stamped mongoose grips (nice one Kev)
mongoose stamped headset & BB
mongoose stamped seat clamp & reflector
araya 7x
union snakebelly tyres
genuine mongoose stamped seat (made by viscount)
1st gen renthal straight seatpost with original 1st gen survivor decal
mongoose stamped 175mm crank (original chrome)
mongoose stamped spider
NOS skyway tuff pedals (original cage finish unpolished)
Dia Compe Prebent levers and Dia Compe 890/1020 calipers
Genuine original mongoose vinyl padset.


So here's the advert........




And a little close up.........





And my build...........
