2 Early Mongoose and then Im done

[stfc]

afternoon, 2 early 80,s mongoose , the red one is a 1980 complete with ashtabulas, the chrome one is a 1981,the red motomag will be built up pretty much era correct with the exception of possibly a pair of cw bars which i have and lester mag wheels, the chrome frame set will be built as a rider, with araya aeros and a nos 1981 hanabishi 3 peice crank, and basically after they are finished thats me done,Im bailing out of this time/money consuming hobby for all sorts of reasons i will possibly break one of my other bikes and a few parts will be up for sale also, but the completed non riders will be moth balled and packed in the loft

i restored an island blue/white mk2 about 5 years ago, and it was given away as a prize on channel 5,s fifth gear

it'll be interestin to see if it is possible to pack this hobby (obsession) in dude , keep us posted on the withdrawal symtoms , but its good to see you goin out on a couple o geese 

[hunterdubber]

Last ones my arse 


i'll give it about 4 or 5 months away max and you'll be back building summat

I reckon you'll be back Swindon, its hard to get out of mate. When i finished my Quad last year that was it for me but i kept returning to RAD to read and felt left out cause i wasn't building anything, so i bought another Frameset, i've worked out a deal with the wife that i'll be dong just one build a year now. This way everyones happy....i think.  We all need a hobby.

Nice goose's, look forward to seeing them built.

The red mongoose turned put nicely-I'm thinking of taking a "sabbatical" once I finish my cruiser-nice Mini too mate

Gutted...  The 81 chrome frame looks so nice.... 

Selling these frames is the hardest thing to ever do, cos as nice as it is to know someone might get to appreciate / enjoy them more, its still fills me with envy...  PM me some pics when you get it built mate... 

Good work.
