1975 Mongoose Motomag

http://bmxmuseum.com/image/75_goose_2_001.jpg http://bmxmuseum.com/image/75_goose_2_003.jpg http://bmxmuseum.com/image/75_mongoose_003.jpg http://bmxmuseum.com/image/blue_arayas_013_copy0.jpg

1975 Mongoose Motomag

(sold to mongoose drummer)


First year Mongoose. The bike that started it all!

Notice how the seat stay gusset is wider where it meets the seat tube than it is where it meets the seat stays in the last picture. This distinguishes it as a 1975 model (take note all of you who think you have a 1975). 1976 and later models did not have this!

Parts list:

1975 Mongoose frame
Ashtabula forks, neck, and cranks
Schwinn headset and seatpost clamp
Tuff Wheel 1`s
Cheng Shin front tire (original to the bike)
Swallow rear tire
Mongoose handlebars
Mongoose Winners Circle grips
Three Arrows sprocket
HTI pedals
Fujita seat
mirror polished aluminum seatpost
nickel plated KMC chain

Big thanks to crash-endo for the awesome polish job on the frame and seatclamp!

That is sweet!  Can't wait to see it when you get it put together and show it off.  Let me know too.  I'll put air in the tires of my ugly '81 that I just got and ride along with you.

A "Squonk" is like a Mongoose only much harder to find...
