1980 nickel mongoose (with steel hub tuffs) FINISHED

(1/8) > >>

bobafett:
Right then - had this frame for a long time now and the bike was built up a couple of times but never felt 100% so it sat on the back burner until I had all the "right" parts. It's now pretty much exactly how I want it.

The nickel is in lovely condition and I've got a few hours polishing time in it since the first time she was built.

Except for the tyres the parts are pretty much era correct and mongoose stock/option correct  :)

Nice set of yellow comp 2's might be the final piece but i'm happy with the comp 3's for now  ;)
