Just picked up this 1986 Mongoose ATB that was on craigslist for 70.00 bucks. I love these old Mongoose ATBs. My first real geared bike was a light blue one. I kind of like the clean look of the seat-stays due to the chainstay U-brake. When I picked it up it had a good amount of light rust on the frame and fork, but I've gotten most of it off with aluminum and water. It is shining up really nice. I just gotta give it an overhaul, maybe a new rear derailleur, a seat, and I was thinking maybe either either a drop bar set up, or possibly a Bosco bullmoose bar set up. These frames are set up with double eyelets front and back, so it would probably make a great tourer or commuter.
