87' Mongoose decade build (put together for a look see)
EDBANGER:
It's going together in the next week mate. Still not got the bits repainted that I wanted but I'm feeling the need to stick it together and have a look anyway (and a ride :daumenhoch:).
EDBANGER:
Right then, the Decade has been sitting around not getting anywhere for a while now so I decided after seeing how awesome the Hereford ride out looked I should at least throw together what I've got to have a look and inspire me.....I think it looks pretty damn sweet (Sorry about the crap camera quality though).
Things that are still missing include brake pads & chain. I was going to spray the tioga spider white but I think I actually quite like it all chrome??
Issues that I have now are firstly the rear brake. I've assembled the brake through the spin tech but I think the 2-1 one part is for use with an 990 centre pull style caliper and I've sort of bodged it together. I have no idea whether it work yet as i've not got any pads on it. Does anyone know if this is the case?
Secondly and probably most worrying of all. I think the forks are slightly twisted. I've taken a picture here to try and show it. Is this something that I can fix and how would I go about doing it?

I was going to get the levers, spider and calipers coated white. I still might but I'm not sure. I want to go and ride it :D
