Title: Mongoose Expert Resto FINISHED
Post by: jimmyp on May 08, 2006, 08:54 AM

My 1985 Mongoose Expert Resto, have already striped down and cleaned just to see if it was worth carrying on. Need some help with the mongoose frame sticker and some SR pedals. Cheers dudes ;) ;) ;) :) :) :) Looking for the frame sticker that fades from orange to yellow, thanks.

Looking real nice m8... Those proclass wheels look really nice :smitten:
I have the SR pedals you need in alloy/silver/satin(whatever you call it). They are NOS with the lightest of shelfwear. £16 shipped.
