CdT85 Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 Good morning guys and girls I'm at it again. Got my grubby little paws on a very scare Mongoose that I didn't know even existed until now.I give to you, Eric Carter's, 2006, signature 4 cross frame, the EC-X: I did a dummy fit the past weekend to get a feel of what the finished project will look like, and have already contacted the master of resprays, BogusOne, to help with the project.The basic idea of what I want to achieve : Current specs are as follows:2006 Mongoose EC-X freedrive frame (75/83mm travel)RockShox MC3.1 rear shock2010 Fox Float 32 RL at 150mmMavic XM117 rims, laced with a DT Swiss Onyx hub rear, and Specialized Stout frontE13 chain guide and bashringHope 34T NW chainring paired with a 11-36 10 speed cassetteDeore cranksetSram X7 shifter and rear derailieurFunn funduro 60mm stem, matched with a 780mm handlebar. Plan to have the fork sprayed orange to match the color scheme. Already sourced funky orange shifter cable housings from Lynn as well as orange grips from ebay. Still need to source a few component to complete the build, but first step will be the respray...Aslo kind of contemplating fitting it with a dropper post as well. Feel free to give me some pointers or comments on the build. Will post updates and pictures as the build goes
CdT85 Posted August 17, 2017 Author Posted August 17, 2017 Saving up for the respray at the moment. Can only start the final assembly once that is done. Will post pictures as she progresses
CdT85 Posted November 22, 2017 Author Posted November 22, 2017 Been a while since I have been active on this tread, nearly sold the frame a few weeks ago to fund another project, luckily salinity prevailed.
