Title: Building up a mid school frame with new school bits?
Post by: losidan on September 16, 2012, 09:41 PM

Hi chaps. Is it possible to build up a mis school mongoose frame (93/94) with new school bits. Especially the bb and cranks? I have the headset and stem sorted. I need these bits,also bars and wheels and thought buying a cheapo off pinkbike to transfer bits over was the best option.

Cheers ahead

you can do anything but a tad restricted on rear hub/sprocket size ,i built a few with modern parts. 32 front was the best fit
for mine

you can still run 1 1/8 forks in your frame aswell. ie to get away from the quill stem.

but the chain wasnt happy.

What would be the rear hub? Is it they are different size these days?
