Title: 1981 custom pink minigoose (FINISHED) Some build pics on Page3
Post by: bobafett on November 27, 2009, 07:00 PM

So I decided a while back that I needed to build a custom pink minigoose with my daughter (minifett)  :LolLolLolLol:

It's taken a while to get all the 'right' parts for it the way we had specced it up together, but we finally got everything we wanted / needed.

Also wanted to focus a bit on keeping it fairly light hence some of the parts selection  ;)

So here is the parts rundown :

1981 nickel minigoose F&F (original finish)
Race Inc bars
New AME rounds
Pro-class wheels (with custom rim tape)
NOS Comp St
New dice caps
SR stem
mongoose stamped headset
DiaCompe 890/1020 polished calipers
DiaCompe pre-bent polished levers
NOS DiaCompe cables
NOS genuine skyway tuff pads
mongoose spider
40T takagi chainwheel
unstamped 165mm crank
NOS KKT P8 lightweight pedals
Short dyno chro-mo seatpost
mongoose stamped seatclamp
quilted messinger 'style' seat
custom mongoose vinyl padset
custom minigoose decal set


And here's the finished product  :)
