1998 Mongoose Villain - BMXmuseum.com

This bike belonged to a good friend of mine that I have known for years (since second grade really), that went missing on Christmas Eve, 2011. His body has yet to be found. He gave me the bike shortly before he vanished. The only things I have done to it is replace the grips, tires, and rear axle (one side was stripped out so it wouldn't tighten down). Everything else has been left alone. What you see, is what he rode (Negative the parts I mentioned). 

Mike, you were my brother. You were my family. I hope that, one day, we can ride together again on that big trail in the sky. Rest in peace man. 

Love, your brother,
