Paul, leave it as it is bud, and ride it like you stole it >:D

All my builds are riders, but recently I've been tarting them up so they are carpet-queens and I just end up selling them as I daren't ride them. Mongooses were like Raliegh Burners in the USA, every fooker had one, so this should be treated with the same love..... I still ride my 1978 Team Mongoose with a re-welded set of Flights on it and will be doing so round the track at MK this year, so see you there bud :daumenhoch:

Liked the Ukia's with black tyres myself

Try the black tyres on don't think the red ones are doing anything for it

Fooking love the over all look though  :daumenhoch:
