BMXmuseum.com Bikes / Mongoose / 1980 Team Mongoose

Team Mongoose fully restored. Frame started as a Nickel Supergoose, Powdered with "Anodized Red." Repop decals. Cranks, neck, seat clamp and wheels are my own survivors.

This project has been transforming for awhile. I think I finally have it down to being a really comfortable rider.

I have tried a straight post and Race Inc. bars but it felt like an off-balance tricycle

Pro-Class rims were too light and delicate

CW bars were roomy but felt like riding a bike with a semi grill.

The short tuf neck didn't put the bars far enough forward.

Slam Pro bars were too wide.

Final arrangement:

adjustable MTB seat, laid back post for more balance and room, Fly Pantera bars feel and look perfect, longer Pro-neck, big new school knobby tires.
