Thanks!!
 

I'll head over to the museum now. Thanks for the referral.

Crud, I know what that is and can't think of it. hmmm

Mongoose, I am about 90% sure. Mid to late 1970's

So was I right?

thats an old mongoose motomag from what looks like the early 80's. I've got one that's from 78 I am working on right now. Cool bike, with some good oldschool components, where did you get it? Also what is the serial number?

Yeah, that's a later Mongoose. The MX seat, v-bars, and fluted seatpost are similar to what I rode about 1982. I don't recall what cranks those are, (Takagi?) but they sucked. The grips appear to be Grab-On, and the tires are possibly Snake Belly. Dia Compe brakes? Araya rims? The earlier frames didn't have a bridge for a handbrake, they were strictly coaster.

Hey look, here's one in action, around 1981! Note the v-bar and still rockin' the moto mags. An easy 40+ pound bike.

I like the article name, "Two-wheeled trouble"
haha

If the shoe fits...

...you better hope that it's not one of those hideous Crocs things.

^^
And how fast those fell out of style, haha

Docs, not Crocs. I can't wear cheap shoes.
