Did a couple test rides with this restored and slightly modified 90s Mongoose IBOC Series Pro in that teal splatter paint…it reminds me a lot of jade, hence the title.
Can’t wait to finally finish it with the front brakes. Ran some trails as-is and the descents were surprisingly controllable.

Sick !! It’s good to see more resto than mod on a bike like this.
What’s the deal with that 1x conversion, is that the middle ring?
Either way it came out great and I’m loving the black wheel, would look stellar with matching front in black. What bars are those and how do you like the tires?
Super sweet frame and the built looks great. How was the ride?
Riding trail descents with no front brake is a bold move, respect the commitment to testing limits. The teal splatter really does look like jade, that paint was way ahead of its time. Bar bag is a nice touch too, keeps the essentials handy without a backpack bouncing around.
