What mongoose should i get
 

Should i get a 2007 menace or an 08 mischief. I would use it for freestyle and bmx racing.

i would say stay away from mongoose altogether.

Yup, and freestyle and racing are different. You would need two different bikes.

Ok than just freestyle

get a mcann

The actual Pro Goose's aren't extremely terrible.

theyre not? every goose ive come in contact with fell apart shortly after. link to good ones?

look at any of the team bikes, they are all dialed. ody cassettes stock and all kinds of good ****.

link?

So what kind of bike do i get for $200-250.Shipped

Mongoose Team Bikes.

wow dude. i cant believe that theyre not that bad. thats insane. they dont look all the fresh, but specs say that they are. thats weird.

We told you. Mongoose made a bad name for themselves by selling s*** bikes in X-marts. I just hope now that GT was purchased by Pacific Cycles, it won't happen to them.

its already happening to them, gt's dyno line is all in walmart, and the quality of there biikes has definitely dropped. Ive got an old thumper from about 7 years ago, mint and completly stock. its a sick bike everthing is chromoly, and its build beefy and built very well. dont see half that quality this bike has into there bikes today.

it just sucks when that happens to companies. i kinda hate to see it happen, but they do bring it upon themselves i guess.

Get the Shield. It looks sick, and has good components.

word.

Get an old goose from before they sold out

My 06 fuzz was a machine!

yeah i had a fuzz from 03 or so, maybe older don't rememeber, and it was a solid bike. Learned how to grind on it and everything that the back end stayed straight and never even got a dent. Then i sold it.

Tell u wat mate i have a mongoose,and i have had it for 2 years no problem.
Then agian coz i do street and skate parks i have put new parts on only coz i wanted them.
I got the 2007 menace not 1 problem
Luke

seriously, stay away from mongoose
 

seriously, stay away from mongoose unless they're sponsoring you. I'd got for a Haro or a We The People

haro sucks you idiot

that's like the 3rd time ive seen you say that, lol.
exactly why do they suck?

old thread is oooold

I will admit their completes are getting better, but most of there stuff is still a little behind compared to what alot of companies are coming out with now.

Yeah, Haro has never really brought anything new to the table.
They have sort of always been just OK bikes.

Dyno was introduced originally as the entry level GT bikes - they never were meant to be any better than dept store bikes really.
