This bike used to belong to a friend of mine who had it since the 80's. He gave it to me as he knew i built old school bmx's and said he couldnt be bothered to do it as he is involved in cars. Anyway this has taken about 2 years to complete.

Reece, You've done an awesome job mate......Looking at the before and after shots you wouldn't think it's the same bike.

Man, those are my FAVORITE bars!! And I have a bar fetish.

Couldn't have turned out better IMO.

Beautiful job Reece. Nice Goose componentry on her too. Top job!

Its funny, the only mongoose thing the bike had when i got it was the mongoose grips, now its the only thing it hasnt got

classic mongoose. thats exactly how i remember them looking when i was a kid. great build.

Very nice build.... love the yellow/blue combo.....

That came out very nice, I like the Z-rim look.

Now that's oldschool!! cool build.

Love blue gooses!!!!!!! Nice job bringing her back to life.

Old-skull

Your friend called, he wants his bike back.
Nice job.
Dan

Beautiful job Reece. Classic build.

Well done - my favourite old school brand!

I have a wanted list on VBMX - maybe you have some left overs?

It looked pretty good in the before shot. Now it's just plain beautiful. Way to go!
