Title: Gumtree free mongoose with mag wheels?
Post by: scoff on August 26, 2013, 05:12 PM

Got a phone call today from my Gumtree ad, the bloke asked me "do you want an old mongoose with mag wheels?"
OH YES I"LL BE THERE IN 10 MINUTES..!

Imagine my disapointment when I got there?

I can only find the wheels came with this bike?
So I'm not splitting it up, even thou I was hoping for an old rusty motomag, I still had it stripped last night and I'm just going to polish up the frame and forks this morning..!
I can't help myself doing it up.

It cleaned up quite nice, I'll give it to my paperboy in the morning, some scroat stole his bike.
No idea what to do with the Mongoose mags as yet?
