mongoose 2 done!with pics

[markyp]

i just love the old gusset geese,they bring back so many memories of my early bmx days back in 1983 when there was plenty of these kicking about.this was never about a parts correct or killerbuild just about recreating a good old school bike and to keep  me ticking over during the summer months.i sourced the frame from gaybay and added them to a set of forks i already had kicking about and then stripped my first build from last summer to pinch the crank,headset,stem,chain and seat clamp.the frames been rechromed(very badly,cheers south coast chrome!)the forks are in beautiful survivor condition,all the rest of the parts are nos or were before going on my first build so they are all mint.parts are as follows, 83 mongoose 2 frame and forks,early non knurled gt pro bars,sugino ct crank,shimano sx pedals,dc 1020 with shimano dx lever,kashi mx,suntour seat clamp,ukai shinesides,izumi chain and tioga comp 3's(silver blue label).ive got a set of black pro series pads on there way to me as im undecided on the current ones!

Really like it mate    Chrome and Gold isn't a combination I would have thought would work well together but that is a real looker  

The chrome looks good from here , obviously you are not too happy with it , any pics of the bad bits   Did you complain or get a refund  

Top job mate

cheers for the complement it makes it all the more worthwhile,my builds are for keeps tho!its taken me 26 years to get me a gusset goose,my first bmx was a viceroy which was a cheap rip off of the gusset goose so to finally have the real deal is real nice even if its a bog standard goose,now if this had been a super then it would have been milky handshakes non stop

[stevochb]

am liken that goose
