how is the reputation of mongoose carbon frames?
hi all, would appreciate your advice on this question --
I have never heard much about Mongoose bike frames, but am looking at one of their carbon iboc sx frames to buy now. Do you have good opinions of these, and are they reliable?
Thanks all!

Just say, "NO!"
Mongoose used to be a reputable bike company. Then they sold out and ended up being a "X-Mart" brand bike!
However, they do have a very limited line of upper end bikes that aren't too bad. Haven't seen their carbon model though. Do you have a link?

Mongoose still make good quality BMX bikes though i believe, and over hear u tend to see a few mongooses with pretty good parts, such as deore, and low end mavic wheels... U may even get the occasional ghydro disc... But you dont see many mongoose mtbs... But lots of BMXs
