Well I've been riding this Mongoose ECD that I got from my work for a bit now:

A big side profile image is here: http://www.mongoose-bicycles.com/content/bikes/images/hi/ecd.jpg

But I'm looking towards getting the paint redone with something more unique, brighter, and durable than it is now. When I was thinking about what I could do it struck me that it's a Mongoose, it should get painted like the bikes that they got famous for building. What I'd like are some pictures of nice colour schemes of old mongoose BMXs (thinking like RAD here) and ideas for how it should go, and also a good picture of an early Mongoose logo.

This idea might come to nothing if I cant get a decent design going, and I'll probably wait until the original paint it ****ed before redoing it, but it should be cool if it works out. And yeah I know, downhill bike in the BMX forum, but I do ride bmx as well and I know there's some guys here with an interest in the old skool!

a little off topic, is that a department store mongoose or pro quality one? in thinking its the latter. but i've seen cheapos with disk brakes and full suspension.
