Hey Lazyrider
Here's my Mongoose Bosberg after degreasing her today. If you noticed, I'm still using the Kore I-beam seatpost with a standard saddle. Apparently there is an adapter that will allow me to use the standare Prologo saddle (which I happen to get for free from Kore). Since I was on a budget and didn't have funds for a compact crank, I did replace the original SRAM 53-39 chainring (in storage) with an FSA 50-38 combination as recommended last year by Quadkiller. The frame is large and so far the bike weighs in at 16.88 lbs with pedals and carbon fiber cages.
I bought mine from Performance for a $1799 sales price and used my credit to buy me a Polar CS-100 wireless computer, Lake shoes, Performance titanium pedals and pair of shorts. Since then, I've upgraded to the Polar CS-600 and I also use the Garmin Edge 205. The shoes were upgraded to Sidis and pedals to Speedplay Chromolys. I would like to upgrade the seatpost, handlebar, stem and headset at some point, in this order. The wheelset are Mavic SSC SL and the tires are Continental GP4000s.
Hope you like it! I'm thinking of going Easton carbon for the seatpost, handlebar and stem. And also, I had no idea that the Mongoose was identical to the Kinesis. Thanks for the info.
