1979 Mongoose Motomag
Weighing in at 34 pounds (15 kilograms)...
...this was BMX before the "lighter is better" arms race began.
My bike blog: bmxmongoose.com - Park tools, precision bearings and mayhem.
This bike has the totally unnecessary and insane distinction of completing RAGBRAI XXXVIII's century loop TWICE in one day - read about it here: www.bmxmongoose.com
From 1987 to 2008, this bike's head-tube held the crown for the "World's Raddest Wasp's Nest" but those days are over - this bike is a rider!
Many thanks to the 1977 Mongoose Manual provided by vintagemongoose.com, where I learned how to properly adjust my axles, headset and bottom-bracket - and many thanks to bmxmuseum.com for their invaluable BMX Restoration forum.
