Saw a Mongoose at the bike shop today without the tig welding I thought was standard on these bikes. Saw one with tig welds as well. Maybe yours is a legit Mongoose after all?

Your projects never cease to amaze me Andrew :rockon:

Hahahaha That brings back some memories.

I had nearly the exact same bike as a kid, except the frame was black and the Tuffs were yellow.

Good job mate.
