Well it's been a while

And erm.....

1. I'm still alive
2. this is not a premium build
3. I purposely left the buttercups in the grass as I thought they matched the text in the padset
4. No.... I still haven't stained my fences (fook off Joff)

But seriously...........

This started life as a complete survivor - and I loved her as such.... but...... I had an itch (no i didn't catch something off Joff)

I wanted to pimp her just a little and make a mini version of my 84 cali

Big thanks to Joff for a very tedious bit of resto ( you know what you did mate

)

So here's the final product - some will like, some will loath but hey-ho..... it's a bit of fun (the OG survivor parts are safely packed away do not fear !

)

Spec:

1984 mongoose Mitygoose F&F (Original chrome & original decals)
mongoose Mitygoose bars
original survivor mongoose Team grips
mongoose Team stem
Kashimax Aero
Stainless post
Suntour clamp
mongoose spider
takagi ring
mongoose Mitygoose original crank
victor DX
Dia-Compe 901's / Tech IV's / Dia-Compe cables
16" mini tuffs
Kenda Comp IIIs

Naked

And then.......

It seemed fitting......

For her to pose........

for a few pics.......

With her........

big sister

The first build I ever posted on RAD - my 1984 cali...........

Not only are you back

......... your back with a little cracker John

Love the pair of them together , it's big sister has a few memories for me as this was the first bike i took round the track after 25ish years of being away from the BMX lark !! You kindly leant it to me as my only other BMX at that time

( My original first bike from bitd ) was in bits awaiting restoration

Your more than welcome on the resto bits mate

( bloody tedious affair those ... i doubt i'll be doing any of them in the future

)

Nice one John
