Seen one of these for sale, are they rare at all or where they mass produce like some of the other low end gooses?

I'm bidding on it... just want the GT bashguard... would you be interested in the frame if I won it?

No i just thought it was a bit different with the base guard. did it not come standard like that, being its a gt bashguard. Ive just started a couple projects, ive been bitten by the bug

No GT bash guards didn't come stock on Mongoose bikes. One thing to keep in mind is that "rare" and "desirable" are two very different things. If you like the Villain then buy it, but I wouldn't consider it a investment buy if thats what you are asking.

As the auction is already at £25 Id also ask to see close up pics of that bash before I bid any more. It looks pretty rusted up, and if the skid plate is cracked (as most of them are) you are better off letting it go to someone else.
