Title: Mongoose cali special build finished photos.
Post by: southern andy on January 15, 2010, 02:45 PM: Photos as promised then, just been busy.

I've started a new topic just for the photos as people don't really want to read through 5 pages of drivel. If you do then the complete build can be read here.

http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php'topic=88447.0

Anyways, try and enjoy another of my builds. Only 2 left here in the house now :LolLolLolLol:

There you go, that should keep the Mongoose boys happy for a couple of days.

Massive thanks to John ( Bobafett) for his behind the scenes job. :4_17_5:

All that time waiting for parts and restoring bits is well worth it when you end up with a finished bike like that mate , top job Andy :daumenhoch:

Looks pretty much spot on to the original pic too :coolsmiley:

Cheers for all your kind comments chaps. :4_17_5:

what happened to the chainring its seem to have grown some extra teeth :D

:LolLolLolLol: Good spot Phil, it was on for quite a while but every time i looked at it i thought it just looked too small, then a 44T came up on here quite cheap so i knabbed it. :-[

Yours is here under the stairs mate having a holiday, next time i'm round i'll bring it back over.

Oh and the plate is in the attic at the moment along with my other plates, i was frightened of damaging it under the stairs.

Nah if it's a 39T sell it to me Andy :angel:

Go on Phil let him :LolLolLolLol:

Post by: southern andy on January 15, 2010, 07:52 PM: It is a 39T John but it's not really mine to sell, speak to Phil mate and if you cross his hand with silver i'll post it to you.

I'd also like to point out this is a Survivor, the only thing NOS was the gold spider. The rest is all original chrome. :4_17_5: Hence the no bling. :'(
