Title: 81 Mongoose completed
Post by: hhp802n on April 08, 2009, 03:08 PM: 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...

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 :daumenhoch:
