Title: 1979 mongoose with motomags [FINISHED]
Post by: bobafett on December 16, 2012, 09:41 PM: Another "keep my eye in" build :D

Promise to pick it up a bit in the new year :10_2_12: :LolLolLolLol:

Late 79 goose with some nice survivor bits. The motomags are a really nice set - didn't want to polish them at all so just gave them a soapy wash. Frame is re-finished but most other parts are original finish.

1979 mongoose frame
Ashtabula forks
Motomag II wheels with coaster
Cheng Shin C183 Fat/Thin
mongoose gold stem (original finish and decal)
mongoose bars
winner's circle clear octapus grips
mongoose headset
mongoose seat clamp
mongoose snowflake chainring
mongoose stamped rat traps
Ashtabula crank
mongoose SS seat post
mongoose badged messinger saddle

Pictures aren't the best.... bit of a dull frosty day :(
