Then changed, derailleur, cassette (again, 11-21t dura-ace this time)....

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.

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.
