This is my nickel plated 1980 Mongoose Motomag. The frame still has its original nickel finish...I just gave it a clean and polish before mounting the rest of the parts. The Motomag II wheels are also in great, original condition. There was some surface oxidisation on the wheels but I didn't want to over-sanitise this bike. The rear Motomag II is equipped with a Bendix 76 coaster brake. The Mongoose stamped Sugino snowflake was NOS, as were the Rat Trap pedals and black anodised fluted seat post. The seat was a vintage Troxel and the seat post clamp was Mongoose stamped. The bars were made by Dorcy. I had these powder coated by PWS Finishing in satin black along with the Ashtabula stamped cranks, stamped forks and unstamped stem. The build was finished off with decals from BMX Products, Winner's Circle grips and a Mongoose stem pad. In June 2013, this bike won the Retro Goose bike of the month competition. I split and sold this bike in September to start a new PK Ripper build.
