The 1996 mongoose villain was my first proper freestyle bmx so its got a special place in my heart
I bought 3 of them a few years ago and made a mint one out of the 3 i then like an idiot sold it!
So when this one popped up on ebay on my doorstep i jumped straight on it
It was all original apart from rhe grips snd chain but luckily i had some of them in stock off my previous bikes

So after a good clean and swapping the grips and chain ots looking good and im deffo keeping this one
