1990 Mongoose Solution Pro
My 90s race bike
Welcome back to the streets/track my 1990 Mongoose Solution Pro. Rebuilt with old and new parts to replicate as closely as possible (without taking out a 2nd mortgage) to how it was when I owned and raced one in the 90s.
I got a Solution in 91 after I traded in my Kastan with a Uni-Strut.
The bike was stolen from me around 96 while in the Navy.
I found a F/F last year that I could pull the trigger on.
It's been fun to relive this memory. I can't wait to rip around the streets with my kids this summer. We plan to hit the track also and see if the kids take interest.
