Text is best 860-942-6180 This 96 Mongoose Rockadile frame has the cantilever bridge on the seat stay yoke BUT it uses 11/8 threadless forks and the seatpost diameter is 30.6 mm. This 7005 series aluminum frame is a true looptail and it has the M-stamped dropouts as you can see in the pictures. The Shimano STX-RC parts are all Japan-made and original to this bike. The wheels are original to the bike too and the original ARAYA TM-18 double-wall rims are straight and true. The handlebars still have nice Mongoose logos as does the seat but it is torn-up in back. The BB is a cartridge Shimano square-taper and the STX cranks are in nice shape so check out all the pictures 📷
Text is best 860-942-6180 I just built these 20 wheels using extremely CLEAN SUN Big City Lite 36 h double-wall eyeletted hoops, new black stainless spokes and new grey and silver alloy nipples. The spokes were prepped with linseed oil and these are as close to perfectly truelaterally AND radiallyas you get. I serviced the hubs also before lacing them and they BOTH spin incredibly smooth. The rear hub is a freewheel unit and accepts English threaded freewheels 16 tooth and up. The silver alloy axle-nuts are actually TNT brand and have been installed once before so they have a few marks. Check the pictures 📷 ... this is a LIKE-NEW affordable 20 wheelset with a little bit of flavor ✌️
Text is best 860-942-6180 This started as a 1993 Diamondback Ascent EX rigid mountain bike so the frame and forks are 100 True Temper AVR double-butted 4130 cromoly. STEEL IS REAL ! The frame measures 17 from center of the bottom bracket spindle to the top of the seat tube with a top tube stand-over h 8 of 29. I would say the ideal rider-h 8 range for this bike would be 56 to 510. That is an appropriate range for fit, that said I own and ride many bikes that do not fit me in the traditional sense so to a reasonable extent, FITMENT is up to each individual rider. Experienced/certified static and dynamic fit specialists can make more precise recommendations but for the recreational rider who is not spending hours in the saddle or trying to push the limits of their fitness this bike may very well be real-world rideable for a wider h 8 range. After all, its the good ol YOU S of A so its ultimately up to you. This build came together very well and I have added many pieces of flair such as the Pikachu USB cable bite figures on the valve stems, the cling-on Pikachu figures on the brake cables, the Pikachu and PokéBall luggage tags, many many fun Pikachu decals, a Japan exclusive Pikachu water bottle, a foil Pikachu trading cardin a soft slider and a hard top-loader, a Connecticut bicycle license plate KANTO and a PokéBall Bluetooth speaker in the second water bottle cage on the seat tube. The custom Pikachu padset was made by my mom and ICOVID shut-in projectTake a close look at all the pictures as there are many fun touches on this bike. The bottom bracket is a silky-smooth sealed cartridge Shimano unit with Deore HollowTech crank arms that measure 170 mm. The alloy Wellgo B 102 platforms spin excellent ! The front ring is a Shimano 42 t that came off of a triple-ring setup so it IS NOT a narrow-wide chainring and if you TRY to get it to drop the chain you will succeed as this is a 1 x setup WITHOUT a clutch-equipped rear derailleur. There is a Deore 9-speed rapid-fire pod that controls the shifting that was brand new when installed. The rear mech on this build is a VERY CLEAN Mega 9 Deore that was brand new when installed as was the SRAM PC 870 chain and 34/11 cassette. I would guess that the bike has approximately 12 to 15 miles on it as I rode it a few times on Pokémon Go community days but never put any real time on it. The wheelset is comprised of 32 h high flange Shimano Deore Disc hubs laced 3-cross with 14 g stainless DT Champion spokesprepped with linseed oilto SUN RhynoLite double-wall hoops. They are wrapped in like-new Diamondback street tires that are 26 x 1.75 so they have some meat to handle rough pavement and groomed trails but do not feel lazy at all. When kept at 60 to 65 psi they feel crisp and nimble on asphalt and concrete surfaces. The headset was a NOS sealed cartridge Shimano Deore LX 11/8 threaded unit and I used a 25.4 mm quill adapter to accommodate the Pr 1 mo BMX threadless top-loader stem. I also replaced the og hardware with Shadow Conspiracy hollow bolts. The handlebars are S&M SLAM Cruiser bars that are uncut and measure 27.5 wide with a 5.5 rise. I used NOS Odyssey Gedda 2 grips with Shimano M-System Servo-Wave brake levers to control the Shimano XTR brakes. The fronts are Shimano first gen XTR BR-M 950 V-brakes and the rear has a very clean set of BR-M 900 XTR cantilevers sporting the original XTR pads AND XTR cable yoke. A fun build and an enjoyable bike to ride so check the pictures 📷✌️

Text is best 860-942-6180 A very clean early 90 s Mongoose BMX bike with a 19.5 top tube. All the decals look original and in very good shape for their age. The tires are original and have the Mongoose M logos but they are dry rotted. The wheels are qn exceptionally clean set of 36 h chrome CMC rims with a Suntour coaster brake hub in back. Take a look at the pictures 📷 for an idea of the condition.
Text is best 860-942-6180 This is a really clean Trek Team Issue cruiser with original finish and decals and og chrome forks and pretty rare Trek cruiser bars UNcut. This frame is 6000 series aluminum and has the T-logo extruded chainstay yoke. The wheels were built by me with Femco 36 h alloy hoops, stainless spokes and brand new anodized orange nipples. The MKS pedals are new and the orange anodizing is really nice. The saddle is Serfas ARS Kevlar with titanium rails and the stem is a very clean LDC 11/8 threadless top-loader that can be run inverted as seen on the bike. The brakes are Shimano M-System V-brakes with new cable and housing and the Trek logo-grips are original 90 s. The Trek cruiser bars are pretty rare and have og chrome and decal but the chrome on the bars isnt as nice as the og chrome on the forks so check pictures 📷. The cranks came off a Diamondback and I installed new bearing retainers and packed then with fresh ParkTool PPL-1. The spider is an alloy 90 s Profile Racing 110 BCD with a Big Cheese 41 t alloy ring and the chrome freewheel is an 18 t. The Cheng Shin staggered Comp 3 s are worn and do show some dry rot but they show very nice and the front is considerably better than the rear. Thanks for looking ✌️

Text is best 860-942-6180 This Japan-made Fuji Palisade has a top tube that measures 54 cm center to center. The seat tube measures 49 cm from the center of the bottom bracket shell to the very top. This is a very nice start to a beautiful vintage road build. The original 27 UKAI rims are in excellent condition and the hubs spin great. The SR SAKAE cranks are in good shape as are the DiaCompe brakes. The bottom bracket cups are stamped FUJI amd the headset is an original Tange-stamped TG 235. The front and rear mechs are Suntour Alpha 3000 as are the down tube shifters. The pedals are really cool MKS braced rat-traps and bith the original reflectors are embossed JAPAN. I have included NOS Hartford-stamped bearing retainers for the bottom bracket also. The bars should be REwrapped but they could definitely be ridden as they are.
