I don't know where in the heirarchy your particular model falls but know that they were a bike shop quality manufacturer, not comparable to a wally world special.
They never made it big time (obviously) but I believe some of the higher end stuff was made here in the USA.
The brand of the OP's bike is VENTURA.
It is of the low-end quality ie. WalMart.
Never heard of Mammoth bicycle brand. A quick Google search reveals nothing. A fig newton of your imagination?
