OK so this got put on the back burner whilst I was finishing the 75 and It's been a bit of an up and down build and i've changed a couple of parts choices along the way for various reasons but I'm happy with the parts selection now.

First off I've decided to put the restored MKS BM-1 pedals on my Supergoose 1 and have decided to go with a set of NOS MKS BM-2 pedals for this build instead.........




Next up - grips.

So I've decided (in the end) to put these lovely NOS Winners Circle Octopus grips to good use as they are era correct for the build and will look right I reckon.








Now a little trip into the history files if anyone is interested.........

Winner's circle grips of various types were seen on many a late 70's early 80's bike but did you know that they were made by "Ornate Design Inc." aka.... ODI of mushies fame  :)

Anyways..... couple of reference pics for ya (notice the crest on the catalogue cover and the same crest stamped on the grips - I love that kind of detail  :angel: )






And finally pads........

Now I love pad sets - like really obsessively love pad sets  :-[ :LolLolLolLol:

If I was forced for whatever reason to sell my collection I'd keep the pads  :LolLolLolLol:

Now I've had these little beauties tucked away for years.

NOS mint rare as fook Jag pad set  :smitten: :smitten:

But !

I'm not sure I want them on the build lol  :2funny: :10_2_12: :LolLolLolLol:

I'll snap a couple of pics with them on and then they can go back into the holy chest of pads, but for me the Team Jag just looks sexier padless - in fact I reckon all mongoose made team race frames look best without pads apart from the Supergoose but that's just me  :)




Anyways that's the update.

She's mostly put together now so hopefully finish her off tomorrow and get some outside pics over the weekend all being well...............
