Hi guys >>

Well, after my very warm welcome to the forum (thanks again)... I have got a little further with the Mongoose.

I am still at "loose fit" stage, with just parts offered to the bike... will be giving her a good tighten up at the weekend.
Having seen so many other beautiful bikes similar, I also think that the bikes lines are shown better without a pad set...(?)

Anyway... see what you think... I totally love this bike, and is a different gravy to the others I own. My one fear now though is that the "hobby" has taken a very strong hold - and this may mean moving up a gear...

This is my first "higher end" build, and a few parts will be replaced with better ones over time, so go easy if you spot anything wrong!

The frame looks in great condition. Is it the OG finish?

The frame is a survivor... I have had to get the forks re-chromed though as they were pitted and not in the condition I needed.
