Re: 1980 Mongoose Moosegoose

Love the bike big_smile  Def. a straight seatpost and tip the bars back a little.  Is that the one that was on eBay, from San Francisco?  The guy who parted his out had it all built up in red & gold and it looked pretty nice like that.  Yours looks a little complicated, I agree that red wheels (maybe with black tires) and maybe a plain chain would clean it up a little.  Just my $.02.

Re: 1980 Mongoose Moosegoose

ur chain is a bot loose and ur bars are too far out but other than that u got a kick ass bike (leave the red wheels wink)

The bars are in a good spot for pulling wheelies!  Definitely the red hoops and spokes are the go.  Great Moose.
