How many Mongoose bikes have you had so far?
Paul: I haven't had that many. I just tend to change the color of my bikes a lot. I get a bit o.s.d of how I want my bike to look sometimes haha.
Who hooks it up with deals on the parts and stuff? Paul: I also ride for the Shadow Conspiracy/Seventies distribution so I got the hook up with all my parts needs.
Do you care about the looks of your bike?
Paul: As I mentioned above, I can get o.s.d about the way my bike looks sometimes, so yea think I do. Colors have to match haha.
How long did it take you to put the bike together?
Paul: About 20 mins
What are the modification
s you made to your bike? Paul: I cut my bars down a little bit and that's about it really.
