Does anyone know the correct pair of Spinner Pegs that came on this 1986 Mongoose FS-1? I have two sets. One has longer threads with a lock nut. I can’t remember where I purchased these or bikes they came off of. 🍻

Still have a couple of parts to finish on the 1986 Mongoose FS-1. It’s looking like I will not be turning a wrench on this baby till July. Just don’t have time this month with pool season, Vacation, and my birthday. I can’t believe those cheap repops of this bike were going like hot cakes at $600 and already showing up on eBay for $1200! That should make this survivor worth at least $16,000! 😂 Anyway, gonna drink a beer and listen to some records in the air conditioning tonight. 🍻

Parts delivery for future builds. 🍻

This is my favorite part of the 1986 Mongoose FS-1 survivor. A Dominator seat that a dog decided he would chew on for a minute or two. I’m willing to bet that he was good boy tho. 🍻
