81 Mongoose completed
« on: April 08, 2009, 03:08 PM »
Guys here is my 81 mongoose, complete after a three week build...

Still needs a little tweaking...   Am questioning the decals, but i bought them 3 years ago from the USA...  They look the same if not better than a set of BMX Products ones, although they are gold on black not black on gold with the motomag sticker...

...But anyway here she is...

nice one matt , mine will be on soon  :LolLolLolLol:, you need to get some rubber around that rear coaster brake anchor mate or it will cut the frame to bits when you brake,the ideal thing is a window squeegy rubber or similar cut to size , there is a place that sells it down bone lane trading estate near you, cant remember the name of the place  ::) anyway looks top bombing ....
