Nice that BrianP - did you ever build it up ? any pics ?

stfc · « **Reply #18 on:** February 19, 2009, 07:10 PM »

yeah the black forks look really nice , just got a nos set of original mongoose chrome forks so it looks like a change of plan again, also a pair of new old stock IRC knobbly tyres hit the mat from the states today dated what looks like 1980 so they will be fitted as well...
