A local bike shop had 1 of these! I wanted it so bad! I loved mongoose when I was a kid, really nice fella!:)
-
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 ! :daumenhoch:
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 ! :daumenhoch:
-
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
-
sugino spider ? nah, too old skool..is the seatclamp a mongoose item ? :daumenhoch:
-
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!
-
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
-
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 ;D

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! :LolLolLolLol:
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!!! :daumenhoch:

racing took a back seat and everyone wanted to roll around on heavy freestylers with stunt pegs and silly seats! ::) :LolLolLolLol:
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 :knuppel2: 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 :)
-
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
-
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 :)
-
