The wonderful world that is ebay. They're OEM wheels from an '09 SE Racing PK Ripper. Since this was intended to be ridden I invested in a decent set of wheels with double walled rims. Bonus is they still have a bit of "Old School" charm and fit the project perfectly.

Cheers and thanks for the compliments!

yewhi, all I can say is wow. Your LRV's are absolutely gorgeous. Quite a few of the local fast guys bitd rode those, so they hold a special place in my bmx heart.
Beautiful job on your boy's, and I can't wait to see yours all done.

Here's my latest submission to this thread...my youngest's new race bike. It's a 2010 Roadkill Expert that I powdered in candy red metallic.

man your LRVs are were bmx came from.Beautiful builds!!

Thanks to you both! I really appreciate your kind words. I've always had a bit of a personal attachment to the brand. I was lucky enough to have one as a kid so when I came across these two I snapped them up. The blue one was in bad shape, but the frame was straight aside from a couple of minor issues. That's why it was restored to "rider" status for my son. The chrome frame is original and in good condition. Amazingly they came from the same family. Two brothers, one who clearly took better care of his things than the other.

My original LRV circa 1978 Lakewood SportsCycle Park BMX track, Lakewood Colorado.

Thanks Again!

Is there a way to figure out what year my mongoose is?

 

[bmxerpete]

Yes... http://www.vintagemongoose.com

They have a complete serial number breakdown and tons of great info and pics.

 

[Dr.aCuLa]

Thanks alot pete, Ill have to check that out!

Hears a picture of my mongoose (the Damgoose)!
Its a little funky but its fast and fun! Id like to get
a 3pc crank for it, and it needs a new sproket. Id
also like matching red grips, seats, pedals, chain.
Anyone help me out?

Id like to repaint it the same color and fix her up a bit. I got it for 20 bucks so its cool
