1986 mongoose fs-1

[theRuler]

built this bike pretty much from well used parts
just got the stickers off Del, to finish it off!

orb gave me the frame years ago, and dan harris gave me the forks.
don't see many of these bikes about, so didn't have much to go on!

i pretty much copied the general idea off this pic:



and after much stripping, powercoating, de-annodizing, spraying, drawing the stickers (from photos) i have this







not pristine by any standards, but a little something different for MK!!
the braking system is great on this. cable routed through the fork legs. and the tiny centerpull (thanks stidds!) works pretty well too

[harris]

you done a great job of that gra      looks well ridable   

[Del]

Where's the other little decals I made for ya?

lol yeh
they have been part - built with no wheels n brakes for months now, but they take up too much room when built!!!

now i have 5 bikes built, and 3 more to put together

Very nice.

That looks ace Graeme, really nice.  Very similar colour scheme as my Pro-Lite CC.

Glad that centre-pull worked out

cough choke gasp
they came with 6 spoke tuffs. if i had some of them i'd put them on
but it's an 86 bike - so alloys suit it better!
