The mid to late 90’s aluminum Solutions were cool. The Mongoose 3-piece cro-mo (Solution?) cranks however were not. They broke if you looked at them the wrong way. I dunno, I have a 2012 Mongoose Solution 24 as my race bike. Other than a couple of small niggles (pedals and bars – the same things most people change! I also changed the gearing, but again personal preference) I reckon it’s a solid bike and worthy of the Mongoose name.
Was the QC guy asleep when the frame went through? All these things could (and did) happen here too. Typically you see it when a frame tube ruptures or a weld breaks, but sometimes it shows up in odd ways, like a frame having the wrong brackets, mongoose fat tire bike etc. For almost 40 years, Mongoose has been in the dirt, on the trails and off the
ramps. Founded in 1974 in a Southern California garage, Mongoose has always been an
aggressive brand with products that push the limits of what a rider can do.
RECO (Racer Engineering Company) was a wholly owned manufacturing division created for insurance purposes to be separate from BMX Products, Inc, even though RECO was always produced in-house. It was headed by Vice President of Manufacturing Hoppy Brooks, in his attempt to market motorcycle frames. Also, all Mongoose Legion BMXs will have the wheel size (20-inch diameter) unless it’s the Legion L16 or Legion L18 (which have 16-inch and 18-inch diameter wheels, respectively). At Ivanhoe Cycles, we have one of the largest range of Mongoose BMX bikes in Australia.
Whether shop here at Albe’s BMX or at , we’re just stoked to help get these beauties to hardcore ‘Goose fans anywhere in the world. When I said Originally, I was referring to before the 1983 redesign. I.E, the early Motomag, Team, and Supergoose with the first gen drop outs and the double front gusset. The Motomag frames had a Cro Mo front triangle with a mild steel rear. I used to own and race on one of his personal aluminum Newman frame Californians, which was also made in Taiwan.
Its top-tube length is 20-inches long which makes it perfect for riders above approximately 155cm. CycleSouq.com offers bikes and accessories from leading brands at unbeatable prices, with detailed product descriptions/filters, customer reviews, financing options and a friendly customer service team. mongoose mountain bikes The Legion L80 is designed for taller riders because it uses a 20.75-inch top tube which will suit riders from around 5’8” tall. It’s the first BMX in the range to use a 4130 Chromoly steel front triangle. Your young BMX rider can shred it at the bike park with the Mongoose Boys’ Grid XS 20 in.
A few posts up there is a link to the new Mongoose bikes that are supposed to be as good as anyone else’s and are not walgoose editions. I did some digging on another site and found that by 1983 Mongoose frames were being built in Taiwan. I feel that bad now with mine being made there too.
Plus, the new Supergoose offers the same unique Mongoose Pro Class drilled aluminum rims for superior performance that won’t weigh you down. The 80’s are back, baby – live it up on the iconic Mongoose Supergoose. Hop on the Mongoose MXOne BMX race bike and you’ll be ready to take the track by storm. The MXOne features a durable steel frame with BMX Race geometry and BMX Race bar with Taper leg race fork. The single speed drivetrain keeps riding simple, while the rear linear pull brake provides reliable stopping power. Plus, this race-ready ride comes with a USA BMX track sanctioned number plate.
It’s the same size as the L40 at 20.5-inches but the handlebars are bigger (1” wider and 0.75” taller). It also has an integrated head tube which means a stronger frame. The rims are also wider, which not only makes them stronger but also less prone to pinch flats on hard landings. For the extra dollars, you get stronger 3-piece cranks. The maximum rider height is 5’3” for this size.
