Yeah, at my home there are two trees. One is a kind of mango called
"manguito", they're small, about the size of a tennis ball, so I doubt
it is exported. But it is sweet, delicious. The other tree is spade
mango, not the usual export variety because it has "hairs" inside that
get trapped on the teeth... This is sweet with a salty touch.

Unfortunatelly, at my town, this is the best mechanic. There are no
options...
I learned to fix my bikes myself because I can't find a decent one...

I should've thought of that. Your bike looks great!

Cool. I'm about to do a similar conversion to an XR, but I have
everything from the donor bike (swingarm, shock, wheel, etc.) to make
it a bolt on affair. I'll just have to add a bracket to the frame to
hold the rear master cylinder.
