Right then another month another mongoose
I built this up for MK but it's had a few tweaks in the last couple of weeks - the main one being the tyres - a pair of 2.125 knobblies on a mini just looked huge so i've gone for some 1.75 agressors
Bought the frame n forks from Steve P a while back (last year i think
) and then set about sourcing the bits i wanted. Gave the nickel frame a good dose of autosol and elbow grease and Kept the original survivor decals on even though I had the proper NOS replacements - I just like keeping original decals whenever I can
So here is the parts run-down :
1979 mongoose minigoose frame in nickel - CG9 187404
mint ashtabula forks
mongoose bars with ashtabula stem
steel hubbed coaster tuff II's (real nice survivor condition
)
NOS 1.75 carlisle aggressor MX200 pair (with a nice blend of release powder and bikeshop dust
)
NOS ashtabula short crank (fresh out the packet
)
Takagi 3 arrows stamped chainwheel
NOS union rat traps
NOS oury grips
nice survivor mongoose messinger seat
chrome mini post
mongoose stamped headset
mongoose stamped seat clamp
mongoose stamped reflector
NOS genuine mongoose 1979 "TM" vinyl padset (with the correct "short" frame pad - rare as fook
)
And here she is - hope you likey.........................
