My 1985 Mongoose Eric Rupe Build ( finally )

(1/5) > >>

martylaa:
Ok so i finally got to build up my Mongoose Eric Rupe today after getting all the bits together, i originally purchased the Frame and Forks from Ebay US last year only to have the seller try and pull out of the deal, eventually he agreed to honour the deal and sell it to me, then happened upon a for sale thread on another site and scored the Mongoose 3 Piece Cranks, Stem, Bars,Pedals and Rims in 1 go which was a bonus, the other bits have come along over the last 8 months or so.
The chrome on the bike was a bit dull so its been polished up as i wanted to keep the original chrome and decals on the bike, also had some other bits anodised black by Paul at CustomColour ( big thanks Paul, hope everything works out for you mate :daumenhoch: )
So i wanted to keep this as close to the original Mongoose factory Spec bike as possible but in the end i wanted a black headset and black pro class rims instead of the Factory Version ( click on link below to see Factory version )
