but unfortunatly its painted and not chrome so ive had it powdercoated gloss white with black tuffs and pads

I've had an old motomag in the garage that I havn't let go since I got back into oldschool bmx about 8 years ago.

Its the one bike I've kept all the way through.

And its had more facelifts than Joan Collins:

The MooseGoose is a fooking abomination of a bike, I absolutely hate them.  They should be melted down in a big fire.

Well each to his own i think - I doubt anyone is about to change thier mind on how they feel about mongoose.
And i can assure everyone on this site that non of mine will be going anywhere near a fire  :2funny:

Question for you guys? Are either of you over 5'10"? You really should try riding one ....
Title: Re: mongoose builds

thats the reason i like the Moosegoose is for its tallness, i do think it looks a bit silly but thats all the fun of it ;)

Nahh mate just sneeked in at 5'9"  :LolLolLolLol:

To be honest as a mongoose fanatic i'd possibly consider building a moosegoose at some point in the future when i've built all other models ! just to complete the set  ;)
But you've got to admit it does look mad - if i was a bit taller and felt the need for a larger rider i think i'd hold out for a two-four goose cruiser  ;)
But for me i'll just stick with me supergoose 2 rider with it's layback post  :daumenhoch:
