Cruisin' on my Bluebird
I picked up an '81 Mongoose from a customer that was through with it. Mostly original except for wheels, grips, pedals, seat, etc.
I had a set of April '83 Z rims with polished Suzue sealed bearing hubs laying around that I got with an 87 Mongoose Decade Pro in pink & chrome. Rebuilt, detailed and sold the Decade.
I wasn't allowed to ride or race BMX but my best friends were all into it. Decided to build this to resemble a bike I would have had after a couple years racing. Tried to use period parts within 2 years if 1981. Used what I could find locally but some parts are newer. Like the Vans tires and grips. Pedals are newer DK but I like the way they match the rims.
Came up with this. Smooth as women's underwear!
Let me know what you think!
