I would first like to thank RatRodBikes.com for this playground for us to have some fun with bicycles!!
I would also like to thank all of you incredibly knowledgeable, creative and talented folks that hang out here and share your bicycle fun!!
Without this forum and all that participate here make playing with these silly things a lot of fun.![Slightly smiling face :slight_smile: 🙂](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png)

This is my take on a modern muscle bike. Built for adults. A Mongoose Beast built as an ode to the Mongoose mascot, Maurice. I had a lot of fun building it right up to the last minute.....![Whew :whew: :whew:](/forum/styles/fusion/xenforo/smilies/whew.gif)

It is the image that popped into my head when I saw it on CL for the same amount I got as a Christmas bonus and figured I could have a lot of fun with it and parts in my garage I'm tired if laying around collecting dust. I am pleased with the result and I hope you like it too!!
Even the bear is confused with this Beast!![21 :21: :21:](/forum/styles/fusion/xenforo/smilies/21.gif)
The rear hub
(Facing rearward as is the valve cap)
Maurice making a quick getaway....
And the bike and parts from my garage that made the image in my head come to life.![Nerd face :nerd: 🤓](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f913.png)
