This is my new pirze. It's an 88 M-1. I am looking for someone who has the original cranks and chain ring for it, or a set or pro class 3 peice cranks for sale. Any help in finding the original stickers with those colors would be a great, great help. Thank you?!?!?!?!?

Re: Mongoose Builds! Mongoose Questions! Post them here...
Awwww Yeaaaahhhhh, got some more parts in for the build! 
Yes ladies and gentleman that is a hex powerlite stem.
And....
I have hex powerlite hubs and some powerlite hoops that look like proclass wheels on the way! 
I know I said I was gonna turn it into a modern day recreation of Cru's bike but somewhere along the road my hearts desire changed....
IM looking for BEATUP, maybe not useable for you but useable sections of frames for me.
RL20II - Good Twin top tube section, the rest can be garbage.
ELF Double cross - Good rear section, the rest can be garbage.
ELF Double Butted - Good Down Tube section, the rest can be garbage.
Auburn - Front and rear section needed, from seat area back, rest can be garbage.
GT Performer with S tube, Late 80s Early 90s - Need the S tube section so smashed TT or rear triangle is fine.

Re: Mongoose Builds! Mongoose Questions! Post them here...
I really need the mongoose communities help!
I have a 96/97 threadless mongoose expert. I have a 25.4 seatpost and a 27.2 seatpost, the 25 seems to be a bit small and the 27 seems to be to big. Is a 26.6 the right size?
Please help.
IM looking for BEATUP, maybe not useable for you but useable sections of frames for me.
RL20II - Good Twin top tube section, the rest can be garbage.
ELF Double cross - Good rear section, the rest can be garbage.
ELF Double Butted - Good Down Tube section, the rest can be garbage.
Auburn - Front and rear section needed, from seat area back, rest can be garbage.

Jus seeing this now.......alot of collectors here, in the mongoose world prefer the 75 - 85 mongooses.
There's only a few of us who dabble outside of that time line.
Like Bones, me and a few others.
I'm looking for the following frames, frame & forks or completes by BMX products:
MotoTrac (nickle or chrome), Racer-X or a Super-X (with the double gussets preferred).
Thanks

Very cool, thank you.
Its just that I bought a seatpost and seatclamp thinking the size was 27.2. 
Ill start looking for a 26mm seatpost and seatclamp now.
It couldnt be 26.4, 26.6 or 26.8?
Much Appreciated,

Have you checked mine out yet to see if it's exactly like yours?
Here's a link to it:

Let me know if it is the same, and I'll measure mine for you so you can stop guessing bud!

Re: Mongoose Builds! Mongoose Questions! Post them here...
Recently picked up a mongoose decade, but the seller cut all the cables to get the bars off
I think I can salvage the front brakes, but the rear brakes I have some issues with...
The 2 cables that run to the bottom of the rotor with the little balls on the ends.... Where can I get those.. It's 2 cable that connect to a little square cable guide that turn it into one, and the one cable I think I can just use regular cut cable to run to the back.. HELP PLEASE! 
Should I just get 2 more front brake cable and cut them real short to make the extensions??? If I do that the cable ends won't be correct, and that upsets me.
Here's what they look like...
Cut to get front forks off. 
Should look like this...
