1978 Mongoose Motomag
1978 Mongoose Motomag
The first of many BMX bikes i built.
I bought this frame brand new from Bob Molinari @ Placerville bike shop. I think i got the Ashtabula cranks & stem from my neighbor John Ames. The wheels came off the mono-shock bike after the frame broke. And i know i stole that ugly blue seat off my moms 3speed cruiser! Sorry Mom...1975 must have been the year according to the plate?
