    76 Mongoose

    just came across this the other day. ROUGH. Top tube is fried. It looks liek the top tube was underwater for 20 years. Weird. Seatpost is likely stuck forever and the seat mast is cracked in three places.....oh well. Still cool. These dont come up very often.

    single front chainring vs rear cassette??

    So, Im wanting to do a 1x7 (or 8 or 9...depends on the rear wheel I find). Does it mater what kind of front chainring I use? Im wanting to use an old school 44T BMX sprocket up front. Type of chain? Sorry, Im drivetrain/chain dumb.

    Seat guts?

    I just ordered a cool hairpin saddle but I can already tell that the part where the seatpost inserts is gonna be way too large for the narrow seatpost Ive got. Is there some sort of shim out there? What about replacement guts? Suggestions?
