may i ask why the hell you put a road bike derailleur and cassette on a dirt bike? if you say to save weight i am going to slap you, as there are much better things to spend money on to save weight (things that cost less and will save you more weight)

anywho, here is what my next bike is going to be. hopefully have it by xmas. my mtb is ok for when i got for a ride with cherie, but when i go out for a hardcore sprint around town like i did on saturday arvo it isn't that good. just not quite as comfortable for high speed riding. i just have to sell a bit of stuff to get it.

cant b bothered writing it all atm cause i forget. i think im close with most prices...

ill post some pics of my bike up tomorrow!

its for sale too... put a fair bit of money into it back in the day. most top range parts.

looking around $550 for it. perfect for skate park or dirt jumps :(

forgot to take a pic today. been tryin to get the stickers off and make it look good to sell :D

Stagea girl- to my knowledge, mongoose arent really worth much these days unless they're brand new and the higher models. wat is your son planning to use it for? if its for him to just ride around the area or to school then it wouldnt matter if it was old. all you would need to do is spray it(only if needed) and buy some cheap parts. but for a more stressful (on the bike) application such as bmx racing, skateparks or dirt jumps, i would recommend a newer stronger frame otherwise u will just be up for more money wen he starts breaking things :D

think of it as a car. inferior parts= constant replacing, superior parts(unfortunatley more $$$)= stronger and long lasting.

i had my pushbike for a few years and gave it hell. daily use on skateparks with stacks onto concrete from decent heights, landing wrong where ive broke bones instead of parts on the bike, hit trees dirt jumping etc etc... and its still in near perfect condition! because i forked out on the higher quality, i havent needed to replace anything since i upgraded the different parts.

well im ranting on...

mongoose aren't worth shit unless they are the ones from the 80's. and if it is a few years old it wouldn't be worth much even if it was a high end model. bikes have changed so much over the past few years, and gotten cheaper. what you used to pay $1000 for about 5 years back you can now get for about half that.

I have an old mongoose frame, was going fix it up for my son, but the bike shop said it wasn't worth it.

Anyone know about mongoose?? They worth anything these days?

If its a Supergoose I'll buy it off you. :D

ok well after looking at the pics, i can tell you that you will be lucky to get $300 for it. sure it might have an odyssey rim on it, and sealed bearing cranks but that is about all that's good. the actual crank arms aren't that good, just the bearings. for $550 you can pretty much buy a 2008 model cleveland, and it is better spec'd. but if you can get $550 for it then well done.

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
