Re: 1978 Mongoose Motomag
That's cool to have old pics like that.
Nice goose.
Do you still have it?
I'm looking for the following frames, frame & forks or completes by BMX products:
MotoTrac (nickle or chrome), Racer-X or a Super-X (with the double gussets preferred).
Thanks
I'm also johnng23604 at "Retro-goose", "VintageBMX" & "RADbmx"

Re: 1978 Mongoose Motomag
Nice to have some old pics from back then... That bike looks great!
I have similar pics from when I was 12 years old and yours remind me of just how much I loved my first Mongoose back then and why I still love them today! Very cool...
A "Squonk" is like a Mongoose only much harder to find...

Re: 1978 Mongoose Motomag
I do still have the bike, however I painted it black about 15 years ago. Wish I would have kept it red, so might be changing it back this winter. I will have to take a current pic of the bike and add it to this post.
