Well...I finally got around to building this thing. This is an ORIGINAL...by that I mean it is the original Mongoose Black Chrome finish...(not repainted, not laquered, not rechromed, not anything). This is what you walked out with from the bike shop back in 1982.

Once it clears up a bit outside...I will try to take some better pictures. I haven't figured out how to get the nice indoor lighting for pictures yet!!! LOL.

This is by far the most beautiful bike I have ever built. Hope you like it!

Hey DINGO...

The frame has been kept in it's original factory Mongoose box. I almost did not want to put it together...BUT...I did very carefully!
