My feelings aren't hurt, and I don't give a crap what you think, so you need to ease up on the STFU sh...t. Ok fine, you have an experience and you shared it good for you. That's what the OP asked ( "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." ) He asked members who had experience with them for their opinion, not members writing nonsense, and you need to keep that temper in check cause it will get you into trouble.

I say again if they have never owned a Mongoose their opinion is just that, hollow words or nonsense.

Really I'm not offended by what people think of my bike, the only person my bike needs to please is me, and it pleases me very much. My beef is with people saying hearsay and passing it off as fact. One more thing while I'm on my soap box. If you bought a BMW 3 series for the sole purpose of racing it against a Formula 1 race care, it wouldn't mean it's a crapy car because you lost every race. It just mean's it's not designed to race against a Formula 1 race car, but it is excellent for what it is designed for. I for one am not saying Wal-Mart bikes are great to do DH or Freeride or DJ but if you plan on riding easy XC, hey then there is nothing wrong with them. It's all about expectation and what use they are meant for.
