My Mongoose Dynametric Cross 325 I finally got put together working right:
I changed out most of the parts on it. I believe this is a 1991 model which pre-dates the Pacific Cycles buyout of Mongoose that sadly led to Mongoose being another Wal-Mart bike brand, just like Schwinn.

1973 Raleigh Competition Mk. II running 42/44T chainrings with a 17/19T Surly Dingle fixed-gear cogset on one side of the Surly New Track hub, White Industries Dos Eno 20/22T freewheel on the other - which gives me 70-in pavement and 60-in gravel fixed-gear settings, a 60-in general coasting option and a 52-in gear in case I feel brave enough for some gentle singletrack. Currently wearing 35 mm Continental Cyclocross Speed tires I picked up cheaply a couple of years back.

Swapped my Gravelkings for Fleecer Ridge tires for more grip/volume

Well thats cool to hear. I have been thinking about changing my 33 year old Suntour XC cantilever brakes to some mini-V brakes on my old gravel bike thats now sorta commute/errands focused. It currently has 35mm tires and 50mm fenders. I would have to drop the fenders, but it could be neat to try out a wider slick.
Always trying to figure out how to use that bike more, since I basically built it up during the winter before the pandemic as a commuter...and have worked from home for the last 21 months.
