GREMLIN:
Got my package through the door today. Thanx to winnit93. :daumenhoch:
Overall very nice condition. Plenty to keep me occupied over the winter months.
Yeah Chris the spider is Pro class. Don't think i'll use it in the build tho. Or maybe? Have to see.
Scott did send me the old set of original clear dia compe cables along as well. Won't be going with them either. I picked up a set nos, not so long back for my Leary turbo. So i have a new set sat here because i decided not to use them either. May go onto turbo for museum pics, or for a show 'n' shine. But not my kinda thing.
I will be keeping my eye out for a stem thanx lads, but decided to take my time over this build, so there's no rush. First on my list will be a head set i think, get the frame and forks connected.
Then will start the build. ;D

Are the cable outers in Ok condition if so v interested.
Chris,
My build is going dead slow - all the parts are curently being electrolysed......... I looked into getting the frame re-chromed.......ouch.......for some reason my crank has all the chrome worn away where the word 'mongoose' is......I was going to paint it but I don't think any calis came with black cranks....... :( .

Decided to build mine up, like I said b4, i autosoll'ed the rust now down to nickle in places.
B*llocks to it, polish it up a bit and a new set of decals, will be good enough for a rider....
And I can always make it better, once complete. It is 22 yr old frame remember.
Parts laid out last week pre build up. Looks Crap I know. Got some cheapy skinwalls, and built up skyways with axle rebuild kits since. Parts bill currently clocking in at around £250 - Any wannabe Cali owners please take my advice 'Buy a PreBuilt One' at least 3 been for sale in last few weeks.
now together less bars, chain and brakes & decent decals. Will get some piccys in daylight.
PS. Gremlin - got a pic on my PC somewhere of your frame in a built in a previous life with winnit - with black mags on it.
will either located it or find the post for you.
