Title: Mongoose OS Replica's????
Post by: aditup2004 on January 05, 2006, 07:32 PM

Did anyone get one of these? and if so, what are they like? Are they made of cheapo components, or are they the mutts nuts? LMK as I am considering one. Cheers, Ad  :santa_afro:

They look as they did bitd Kinda. The frame is pretty cool and the components are replicas of an early  80s  goose, so i dout they made any money on it as tooling for parts is pricey.

its funny because for me the idea of a repro would make sence if i was gonna ride it and not be bothered if i fooked it up, but they are ltd  editions , so would you ride it ?   

I like em , but would rather spent 250 on restoring an old goose tbo

I've got one sat here in the box and I like it.

The wheels and chainring need to changed but other than that it looks great. I figured it was pretty reasonable for not much more than the cost of a decent re-chrome.
