Mongoose II build

(1/8) > >>

tonyo:
Well somehow I deleted the thread I started yesterday. :-)
So I try again
My original bike which I bought new in 81. It was originally blue. One piece crank. Single stem etc.It was at the lower end spec wise of Mongoose II options as I was 12 years old and had to part ex my grifter to help pay.  I desperately wanted that mongoose !
Anyway.

Dropouts to be repaired



The off to see SuperbikeDan to try to find the correct blue. He had done just one frame before and this is pretty much it.



The finish and service from Dan is excellent. Can't say thanks enough.
He had to fine blast the frame and saved all the detail as well as the frame number. Very pleased !

Parts to be fitted... I hope they are what I should be fitting for the era.
I am going to ride this bike mind.





Ukai rims and Suntour hubs



Mks pedals ( which I had in 81 )


Suntour stem
