So a month ago I bought a Mongoose Beast and instantly because obsessed with the look and feel of riding it. A day after I got it, I found a beat up beast frame and brought it home to restore for my wife. I know they are cheap bikes, and probably not worth me sinking money into them but I like the idea of customizing something and making it my own so I’m doing it. Fuck it! lol on my working bike I swapped to 26×3 stretched road tires for smoother rides, changed the rear sprocket to a 22T instead of the original 18 for easier pedaling and changed out the seat post and seat in favor of something more comfortable. For now that’s it, I’m building my wife’s frame now and I’m close to done just waiting on parts, everything’s gonna be new with the exception of the rims. She wanted the bike pink so I painted it and 2k cleared it. Here’s some before and after pics of both bikes.
Ps: I also bought 2 Phat Cycle beach cruisers that I’m going to redo too. Lol 🤷🏽♂️ hey I did say I was addicted

Nice progress! Don’t worry about the MSRP; as long as you’re putting in time on the seat n pushing wind, or cruising, you get more than your money’s worth. 🤙🏼 Keep us updated!
Cool project! I hope you’ll post a pic of both bikes together when you’re done building
