I Restored My Younger Brothers Mongoose

Post by A Psycho Martyr »

I went my mom's house and saw my brother's bike sittin there so I jumped on it and the tires were flat. I took it to the gas sttion to air it up and the brakes didn't work.lol. So I figured I'd take it home and google how to fix the brakes. My friend came over and we ended up taking it completely apart and painting it. Here it is...BeforeThis is a pic of it NEW. It was rusted all over and scratched up and stickers were messed up.AfterWhen I took it back to mom's they had the sidewalk chalk out, so I made him a designated parking spot.lol

Great job ! I have been wanting to get myself a bike to screw around with on my days off. I used to do flatland freestyle from 1986 till about the early 90s. Would be interesting to see if I can still do some tricks lol.
