"In 1985 or thereabouts Mongoose (yes, the BMX company) decided they’d test the market for road bikes, and they were able to convince the venerable French concern MBK (previously Motobecane, bankrupt in 1981 and resurrected in 1984) to produce these bicycles for them. $399.00 brand-new. It was favorably reviewed in the cycling press, but never caught on."
