1976 Mongoose Motto Mag. This restore was fun. I used everything possible from the orignal tear down. The frame, box handle bars and seat post clamp were triple chrome by Don Jose Custom's. I replaced the bearings and cups with year to date hardware and used the orignal nuts and washers on the forks and cranks. I brought the ashtabula cranks and forks back to life, along with the 7 hours I put in on the Motto Mags, stripping, steel wool and polish. The stem was in great condition and only required a good polishing. I replaced the pedals, seat, seat post, tires and Winner Circle grips with NOS items. All in all the bike turned out great.
