1981 Mongoose Motomag

Freemag

I've had this bike a while but just getting around to posting it. This was a fun resto. The bike started life out as an original freewheel or 'freemag' bike. Of course when I got it the original owner had trashed the original wheels and parts were missing and/or in bad shape. I already had a set of NOS Motomag II wheels in the more rare freewheel version so I used those. The freewheel Motomags were only available in '81 & '82. I got them years ago from Jeff aka Snorton222. Was definitely a fun and memorable build. Enjoy!
