1982 Mongoose Kos Kruiser 26
1982 Mongoose Kos Kruiser 26
Fastest cruiser on the block
I got this as a frame, fork, bars, stem, and crank. I had a set of red brakes so those went on, why you hoard parts I guess. Rims I got through my shop, tires are SE kenda k-rads, pedals Shiminao. I know the sticker set is not "correct" but it's what came on the bike when I got it and it's not that important to me to achieve total era correctness. I must say that I've ridden many 26 cruisers and the KOS is near the top of the heap (a genuine article one being near the best) that I've ridden. The bars have a great feel and transfer of power, it feels like you're riding a 20" bike, not a 26" cruiser. 
A bicycle is like a toothbrush; you should have one and use it often.
