They're the forks I mentioned, don't they look lush on there

Liking the motomag decal's, perfect choice not making it something it isn't.

Made a little progress on this build last night with some help with my apprentice Phil Sawzall - keep an eye out for him as I think he has potential

Minty fresh, never seen a brake, steel hub Skyways added

Wrapped in NOS fat/thin Comp 2s

79 Mongoose stamped crank, Mongoose BB, rare gold Mongoose stamped 130 BCD spider with equally hard to find 39T chainring and Mongoose pedals fitted

Frame re-decaled with Motomag set, Bottema M1s and the story so far....

Gold stem is being refinished and Phil has my SS bars and post for polishing

Looks awesome so far Chris ... have you done any more since your last post

Jaan · « **Reply #55 on:** May 13, 2014, 11:39 PM »

I've actually done quite a lot Steve

Phil kindly polished my SS bars and Maurice stamped seat post. I landed a mint yellow Goose seat from Jono and I got my gold stem refinished

Just a case of getting some sunny pics now

Now that's got some serious hardware attached round that mongoose frame , bottemas on a mongoose look great I still think coastys super goose is still one of the best looking bmx I've seen

I sent it to Premier Plating who are on the other side of town in Walthamstow. http://www.premierplatingworks.co.uk/index.php#focusPoint

They stripped the brass, refinished and polished it to an incredibly high standard.

The only downside is the price £75+VAT as they have a minimum charge. I got lucky and got it done for free but only because they sent me the wrong part and needed it back urgently which I sorted whilst overseas (it was complicated). Besides all that they received the stem on a Monday and it was back Friday.

Pretty serious these days but not that uncommon a sight BITD. Love the example you've shared.

Well £75+vat isnt bad,as they say you pay for what you get etc,someone else might have done it for ya same price and been no were near as nice as what you received
