mongoose hooligan

[teamspicer]

picked this up last night took it for a little ride tonight feels nice and tight like its just come off the shelf apparently its been in a shed since 97  dont know much about them any info would be good cheers

A local bike shop had 1 of these! I wanted it so bad! I loved mongoose when I was a kid, really nice fella!:)

[bobbbbsy]

loads of similar frames like this around at that time but mongoose retained some style and kept the 2 main tubes separated instead of merging them before the head tube !  

oh and polish them letters off the cd player if you did nt see my other comment .. i would guess that is an add on ! will look much better not that it needs much help !

bought it from sibots bmx  me boy bought himself a new school sunday
agree with the chain ring just had a closer look and its defo original might consider getting a black & silver sugino for the london ride

[bobbbbsy]

sugino spider ? nah, too old skool..is the seatclamp a mongoose item ?

Awesome fella very simular frame to the villian I'm building. Has it got the 14mm rear axle ? Think that was the only difference between the 2. Great nick too.

Love the bike mate!!  Ive always had a bit of a soft spot for these ....I picked a Villain up off the bay some time ago with the intention of keeping it, when I got it home and had a closer look....the bloomin seatpost tube had been welded underneath so I ended up selling it .  Id like an honest one though!

[teamspicer]

 cheers fella's real happy with it. seat clamp is goose doesn't look like its ever been touched still got the original tyres on it too

[GavinDavis]

Sounds like a really genuine little number you got there bud!  Fair play....Keep hold of it ....Unless of course you wanna sell it me

im realley starting to like mid & new school bikes! all that obsession with weight saving in the eighties seems to have gone right out of the window in the 90's (i wouldnt know at the time, i was floating round Tenerife) i mean 3 bolts for a seat clamp would have resulted in capital punishment back then-if it could be drilled, it was!
    i love the bashgaurds, the double bend performers, hoffmans etc, they look fantastic, but just to heavy to ride! ive got my mind made up, i gonna get myself a WTP Crysis as soon as i can find the pennies!!!

racing took a back seat and everyone wanted to roll around on heavy freestylers with stunt pegs and silly seats! 
nice to see racing having a resurgence !

its surprisingly light to be fair. as for the nineties spent most of them in germany aufweidersein pet and all that
we used to have a blinding track near us a load of parents got together and built it in the eighties went down there recently the start ramp been demolished
and someones put horses on there shame my boys would have loved it can still make out the track even the table top is still visible

That is lovely, I think Stuntmaster has one of these in the same condition 

[stuntmaster]

very nice and yes do have a original one , the chainwheel is wrong but otherwize looks original , not all hooligan`s were 14 mm rear dropouts  as mine aren`t , they are lovely to ride as done a few london rides on it

[teamspicer]

cant find a brand on the chainring have done a bit of a search and found images of the same but none fitted to a mongoose
 but it doesn't look like its ever been altered any idea or pics of what would have been fittted
