I have seen some of the new Mongoose bikes online...

Before anyone makes any comments, I suggest you actually look at the new Mongoose Team bikes.

The best Huffy on the market, is about one fourth the quality of the Team Mongoose bikes.

They are using the Odyssey Cassette hub, include chrome rims on any wheel that needs braking power, magnesium pedals, 30/11 gearing (!!!), Sun rims, Snafu tires, entirely chromoly...

Holy crap, that bike is VERY good - perhaps one of the best complete bikes available on the market today from any manufacturer. I do not say that lightly. The new Mongoose bikes on the performance end of things, are a call back to the day when the Mongoose Californian or Team Mongoose was the best of the best for bikes on the bmx track.

On the other hand, they still have a fair amount of garbage in their lineup on the lower end of the spectrum that is probably to much money to spend and can there are likely other options that are better for the money.
