Nice chainring, gotta love the snowflake one. Are those reproduction pads? They look brand new.

 

[PennyPrince]

Yeah, i went with red on the build for accent color, yeah the pads are repops. I got them from someone local for $40!!! I figured what the heck! Why not...

 

[Norrin]

For $40 you couldn't pass 'em up.

Do you need bars? I have a set of Schwinn box bars and stem dated 1978, I know it's not exactly right but it's pretty close, only if you're interested.

Exactly what I said! $40! I'll take them! I got handle bars, thanks, i got a pair of Al rapids.. I got everything just need a seat, red in color and pedals I'm undecided what,route I'm going with these...and I need tires... I went with this stem, cause the correct double clamp are stupid expensive and just any other double clamp are up in price as well...so I got this one early and still give the look of vintage bmx, and I got it only for $45...

Sounds like you're almost all set with parts, next comes the fun part, assembly! That's a cool stem, has that cool old school look. Yeah, the original Mongoose Gold stems are ridiculous at this point. They're super cool but really expensive.

Yeah I'm almost there, but you know what they say the last 10% is the longest haha and that's where I feel I am at cause I'm undecided on somethings.... but for the most part I think I'm almost there... but back to the gold stems, stupid! Expensive it's like buying a new bike!

 

[Norrin]

Hahaha, I was thinking the same thing, you could trade the rest of your bike for one of the stems, seems like a good deal.

 

[PennyPrince]

Your better off buying a,complete bike with that stem..... it's really crazy...

I've had several of them over the years, I used to restore Mongoose and all the related products, Blue Max, Jag, Roger DeCoster, Moto-1.... That was 20 years ago and I kinda wish I had them all back, I could retire by now.

Hahahaha yup! Well I'm doing my version on this build, who knows, maybe I'll start a new trend
