Title: Team Mongoose - All parts now Aquired (Except Brake caliper)
Post by: Rooonga on November 14, 2005, 02:33 PM

Hi Everyone!

I just got the final Main part to get my Team Mongoose built!

Got these! (And I recon they're rarer than rocking horse poop!)

The only part left is the Shimano caliper, which I kow Biagio has, so I can start building once the powder coating is done.

I have got everyting right as far as I am aware (even managed to get NOS Ukai rims WITHOUT the raised bit in the middle!) All parts other than the frameset and Gold Stem are NOS (Including Dura Ace crankset.)

Should be a pukka build!!!!!

Now I am just waiting to hear from some other bmx site as to when the proper Team Mongoose decals will be available...

That's hardcore. I like it when people take the time and comb the globe to get every last bit they need. Looking forward to seeing the completed article.  8)

Pretty rare. But I think the black ones are easier to get hold of, there was a pair for sale at the same time that I got mine, and went for less than half the amount.

I'll buy them from ya if they're for sale!! ;)
