Hey guys I'm dodge from derby UK
A few months ago I had the great idea to try and find a mongoose villain 1995 model as this was my first ever proper freestyle bike I had when I was 11 years old and the bike that turned me into the bike whore I am today lol
So after hunting on ebay I found this
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v718/dodge-13/image-25.jpg) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/dodge-13/media/image-25.jpg.html)
Had a lot of original parts so had a lot of potential
First thing was to get some skinwall tyres back on it so I bought some primo v monsters as finding OG mongoose DMC tyres was going to be impossible

Looks loads better but I still wanted some other parts like a sticker set some OG brake levers and seat clamp so went back hunting on eBay
But while looking for parts I found this completely OG bike with everything including the DMC tyres!

I had too buy it so ended up with 2 bikes!

I have put the v monster tyres on it so I can ride it at a local meet next week and because I'm still cleaning the DMC tyres up

-
Awesome!! :daumenhoch:

Cheers guys im very happy with it so far still quite a few bits i want to do like get the wheels re-spoked and also the seat posts are abit scabby but as there 26.0mm diameter i cand find 1 anywhere never mind finding 2!
Thinking about having these ones nickel plated, also need to find someone to replicate the down tube sticker
-
Right guys I've got a problem I can't decide which levers to put on the OG bike
The ones on it are abit scratched so I bought some others that looked the same on eBay but they have come and are slightly different
So I don't know which to put on now the best looking ones or paint the OG ones?

Lookin Awesome! :slayer:
That Tech88 stinks a bit, looks new, but i reckon it's the black barrel adjusted. I'm sure Mad Middy or Mad Frank will have a silver one lying around somewhere.
Let me know if you go to any meets again :loser:

Nice them Villians :)

I've got one I picked up a couple of years back for £60. Everything there & in fair condition. Mine has Mongoose Skyway Tuff 3's on it which I hate/love/hate......can't quite make my mind up! I've put some cheap coloured tyres on it & hung the original tyres up in the garage to save them.

Sweet what colour is yours?
-
Mines chrome too. The mongoose stickers are purple. I've got purple tyres on it now. Really good colour match with the decals. I rarely ride it now but it'll have its day again soon.
