Mongoose Pro Class - Race bike number 4 -
« on: June 28, 2006, 03:49 PM »
Wow this is getting to be like Thunderbirds :D
 Here is Thunderbird 4 :)
I built it up out of left overs.... I have to say that this rides and feels lots better than either my Torker, Vector or Haro RS1. I am taking it out to smack its legs tommorrow. I wont be getting too wild though as i have a cracked rib. I nicked the brakes and cranks from the Haro which now has a white DC MX1000 and a set of Shimano 600 cranks.
  I am saving to have it black/smoke chromed and will improve the spec over time. To be honest it feels perfect at it is.
Looks like i will be hiring bikes out at the OS MK meeting ;D
 Next project is the Torker cruiser which is 75% complete already ;)
 What do you think....Red or Black padset???

SPEC:
Mongoose Pro Class frame and Forks
Technique Aluminium Cranks with titanium spindle
Araya 7x rims, twist pattern spokes, Shimano silver series large flange hubs.
Powerlight powerbend bars
SR stem
Renthal copy post,
DC copy hinged clamp
Jaguar Aero seat
Tioga comp III silver star front tyre, maxxis rear
izumi chain
Tioga beartrap headset
DC 890 chrome brakes

I just replaced the axles. The rims need truing when i get a spoke key. They were spoked like that when i got them m8. I am not sure about the strength of the cross/twist weave over conventional spoke patterns.
Looks good tho ;)
