1980 Mongoose Kos Kruiser Team 26
Super rare candy team KOS set up 80's style
Ive wanted another KOS since Bret sold my chrome 1980 OG survivour. This one was found in an attic by a guy who sold it complete to me. I changed a few parts and got my badass low production cruiser.

"27: From Chuck Whitcomb: What was the paint/candy finish on the Team Goose frames during the 70's? What method was used to create the anodized look of the burgundy and blue Team frames.
Skip: The candy look was originally transparent powder coat over chrome plating."
From the Skip Hess Interview. I would imagine this was also used for the early 80"s Mongoose stuff as well.
There have been a FEW Kos's in this finish,both Red and Blue. There was one at the 26" meet in Texas that someone bought. Based on pics posted somewhere. 
Museum gunslinger!!! WANTED SHOTGUN 1 SEAT in BLACK and/or BLUE with the holes on the sides!!!!!, MITSUBISHI COMP II TIRES WITH BLACK TREAD and oldbmx jerseys...especially Redline Factory team jerseys.

Re: 1980 Mongoose Kos Kruiser Team 26
Very goose bud, love the color scheme 
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: 1980 Mongoose Kos Kruiser Team 26
Very cool. what's the serial number on this beauty? I would like to know how close it it to my kos.
I can not sit still. I have been tested for A.D.D. and A.D.H.D. and have neither. I don't need coffee, I just need a B.M.X. or surfboard to consistently ride and I'll be happy.

Nice, mine is CI0 333774. Does this mean ours are only a month apart? Pretty close I believe. We should start a kos registry. If your interested we should do it.
