A few posts up there is a link to the new Mongoose bikes that are supposed to be as good as anyone else’s and are not walgoose editions. I did some digging on another site and found that by 1983 Mongoose frames were being built in Taiwan. I feel that bad now with mine being made mongoose mountain bicycles there too.
Returns must be sent to and will be eligible for refund only, no exchanges are available. BMX bikes designed by Mongoose in the 1970s and 1980s shaped a generation of innovation and design. It’s a fat tire BMX bike like a monster truck on two wheels with the Argus MX 20″ fat-tire BMX bike from Mongoose. This is important because, as a rider, you should know which heavy bike you can handle.
Our flagship Tyax series has been designed to provide riders with everything they need on challenging climbs, winding switchbacks in the XC world! Whether you’re looking for a men’s 29er or women’s 27.5″, youth 24″ bike, they have got your back (and wheels). For Mongoose models sold exclusively at higher-end bike shops and on the Mongoose website, the bikes are reasonably priced for a reasonably decent bike.
The other style of Mongoose Bicycles are those low-end, mass-produced bikes which are distributed by major chain-stores at discount prices. Brunswick sold Mongoose to Pacific Cycle in 2000 and Pacific Cycle was bought by Montreal-based Dorel Industries in 2004. Skip Hess started BMX Products, Inc. out of his home in Simi Valley, California in September 1974 with his first product being the famous Motomag One wheel. According to Hess, at its largest stage of expansion, BMX Products, Inc. employed about 85 mongoose mountain bicycles people.
Mongoose Bikes are now just one brand of many in the vast stable of performance bicycles owned by, Wisconsin based, Pacific Cycle Inc. Mongoose Bikes was a brand name of bikes originally designed, manufactured, and sold by BMX Products, Inc. Receipt of assembly by a mechanic is required for mechanical guarantee claims on shipped bikes. This vintage rigid steel MTB is in good condition and would make a great commuter/all terrain bike with smoother tires. We’d love to build it up for you and make any changes or upgrades you’d like to suit your needs.
