The chainring bolts are original - this is an early (75-78 ish) takagi spider / ring combo that's quite hard to come by (although I do have another set ! :laugh: ) The chainring has recesed hex slots on the rear to accept the nuts :)

Mongoose used Hunt Wilde, Winner's Circle, Oury and Oakley grips and obviously mongoose grips, maybe OGK Hex grips in early years but not Mach.
