I do like a mongoose. Looks good in the white. Watch out for the seat post, looks a bit at an angle in the frame.

Are you gonna ride it?

  Yeah i know bud its the only bit on the build that is in my opinion utter tasteless tatt, what i am after is one of those quilted black motomag seats and a straight chrome post, no rush though got until sunday morning  ;)

  Yes but you had to look hard to find that little bit of nipp chroming though did you not, any how, fook em' :)

  Wooo back there, i never actually said what the bike was, other people made that inference.

  But as you pose the question its..... i have to take a deep breath..... Mongoose Ammaco Team Wire Wheel.

  Wrong seat (soon to be rectified)
  Wrong seat post (ditto)
  Wrong Bars (Mmm Maybe.... i kind of like them)

  From this  :'( :'( :- (http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/dd266/lcfc1010/wirewheelbefore.jpg)

Interesting ride fella, I like it when people break from the norm, dont get me wrong I like a nice original bike but it would be very boring if everyones bike was as it was when it came out the factory :daumenhoch:

Get some all black Kenda MX tyres and maybe an earlier stem; gooseneck Ashtabula maybe or an early SR/Sugino and I reckon it will look pretty good as it is  :daumenhoch:

  Understand what your sayin' about the tires ( DB logo just aint right on a Goose, and me thinks quite a scarce Goose as you dont see many of these ) Fantastic smooth ride though.

  And Ashtubula stems to me are not unlike the feeling of nails down a blackboard - oh my god i hate them!! Arrrrrrrh. But totally agree with your point, it needs an SR stem.

  As well as the stem i'm thinking SR platforms, Non fluted straight seat post- polished, Renthal "V" Bars. Already got a Quilted stitched Viscount seat, and thats your lot me thinks.

  Yes/No??

Not very good imo. Looks cheap and nasty.
