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...

You should be proud of that, took me four builds to get near that standard

Thanks a lot... tis my first finished restoration

I am doing three at once, finished two, just waiting for a package from the USA to complete my third... Will add my 87 decade in a bit..

Loose the odyssey sticker on the seatpost before someone spots it....

Top notch build though...

Another two on the go, sounds like you've caught the addiction...

be careful removing the oddy sticker, ive done it on 2 posts before, but when ive tried to clean up the glue ive permanently 'fogged' the chrome, fook nose why this happens, i tried everythin to get the chrome back to normal but to no avail, id recommend putting another decal over the oddy one. just my tuppence worth

Amazing mate! I have to say that those tuff wheels look the dogs bollox, super clean and bright, lovely

BTW, with the ody posts, I removed my sticker by nitromors. Of course, removed it from the bike 1st

Came out fine

nice dude

nice one matt , mine will be on soon

, 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 ....
