Is this a marketing strategy by Mongoose to appease both lower and upper ends of the market and do they still make low-end bikes to this day (less than $300 for brand new)? Does anyone have any experience with their frames made in the last 3 yrs? What do you guys think of them? Thanks for any info.
Their bike shop bikes are very nice and usually a great value.
Schwinn is another pacific brand where their department store bikes are crap but the ones they sell at performance are fine.
GT and Cannondale are owned by the same company as well (Dorel, which bought Pacific).
They all have good models and good bikes, their bike shop bikes are all of equal quality.
