1984 mongoose blue max FINISHED...... Pro Class Stylee......

(1/7) > >>

bobafett:
Right then - been wanting to get this finished for a while now but finally got my last bits I needed. I wanted to do a mongoose blue max with some nice parts since essentially the F&F is a cali but mongoose used to put some cheaper bits on them as stock BITD. I picked it up as a really tidy survivor a while back - the frame was really clean with real nice original decals as the bike had been housed from new and looks as if it was well looked after  8)

I used the frame and forks, tange stamped BB, tange stamped headset and unstamped takagi crank and then set about getting all the parts I wanted for it........

I'm well pleased how she's turned out - Hope you like it too  :)
