'82 California Special
« on: January 21, 2015, 01:13 PM »
Hi guys >>  :coolsmiley:

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...  "help"

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.  :daumenhoch:
