OK so a little progress - got the old girl polished up.
Had this frame since 2009 lol
So she's structurally sound with a couple of battle scars here and there but nothing serious.
This original pic shows the patina back in 2009 so as you can imagine when I pulled it out to work on it was even worse with another 10+ years of Nickel oxidising
I tend to measure polishing sessions in beers rather than time - this was the result of a 4 beer sesh........
Original pic from 2009:
How she stands now.....
Turned out quite nice for 41 year old Nickel I reckon
Decals next.........

Cheers gents - yeah quite pleased how she polished up - worth the cramp
So decal time.....
Well some Jag adverts / catalogues have the team with the prism gusset decal and DeCoster fork decals and others have the gold Jag Team decals or a mix of both.
Prism gusset decal & DeCoster fork decal :
Gold gusset decal & DeCoster fork decal :
Gold gusset decal & gold Team Jag fork decal :
Ultimately the bike will be built pretty much as spec for the first picture above (with a little artistic license) but I was unsure on the decals.
I was in 2 minds which way to go and tried the various permatations.....
Ultimately, with the frame in front of me I prefered the gold team decals- they looked slicker, more uniform and better matched. The DeCoster decals looked a little out of place - too yellow rather than gold if you catch my drift.
So here she is in her going out clothes with a nice goose stamped headset and her gold stem waiting to be popped in.......
Time to get building........

Coming soon.... Team Jag build update (seat and pedals restored)
«
Reply #18 on:

Cheers gents.... a little update - slow progress unfortunately but a bit of resto has been accomplished over the last few days.....
The original seat in the 79 Jag catalogue is either a suede kashi or suede maytex. Now in my build notes I'd written down years ago I had a NOS "shelf worn frayed leather" unstamped Kashi that I was apparently going to pull the leather off and re-cover in suede but when I pulled it out of storage it just looked too good to remove the leather and I decided to fix it up and use it for the build with the OG leather finish intact.
Bit of carefully applied gorilla super glue with the brush aplicator, a load of clips and a handful of patience and she looked almost good as new:
Next up - pedals. So the pedals on the team Jag as per the Team mongoose of the time are the much sought after and hard to find MKS BM-1 rat traps. I have a NOS set of these on my 79 Team Minigoose.... but, for this Jag I had aquired (many years ago) a rusted, but structurally sound, set that need a little TLC.
A bit of de-rusting and a little paint and I think they came up just fine for this kind of build since it's a spruced up survivor frame and I think these suit the build just right.......
Getting there......
Hopefully get this finished fairly soon..... but got a few on the go at the moment

OK so this got put on the back burner whilst I was finishing the 75 and It's been a bit of an up and down build and i've changed a couple of parts choices along the way for various reasons but I'm happy with the parts selection now.
First off I've decided to put the restored MKS BM-1 pedals on my Supergoose 1 and have decided to go with a set of NOS MKS BM-2 pedals for this build instead.........
Next up - grips.
So I've decided (in the end) to put these lovely NOS Winners Circle Octopus grips to good use as they are era correct for the build and will look right I reckon.
Now a little trip into the history files if anyone is interested.........
Winner's circle grips of various types were seen on many a late 70's early 80's bike but did you know that they were made by "Ornate Design Inc." aka.... ODI of mushies fame
Anyways..... couple of reference pics for ya (notice the crest on the catalogue cover and the same crest stamped on the grips - I love that kind of detail
)
And finally pads........
Now I love pad sets - like really obsessively love pad sets
If I was forced for whatever reason to sell my collection I'd keep the pads
Now I've had these little beauties tucked away for years.
NOS mint rare as fook Jag pad set
But !
I'm not sure I want them on the build lol
I'll snap a couple of pics with them on and then they can go back into the holy chest of pads, but for me the Team Jag just looks sexier padless - in fact I reckon all mongoose made team race frames look best without pads apart from the Supergoose but that's just me
Anyways that's the update.
She's mostly put together now so hopefully finish her off tomorrow and get some outside pics over the weekend all being well...............
