I need to find my spare Tektro v brake. Saying the stockone is garbage is an insult to garbage. I had the lever, seat, post, and clamp in my parts bin and bought the brake cable since the stock one was too short to use with the Shimano lever. Rode it for a few minutes this afternoon and it seems solid. I will be removing the reflectors when I swap out the brake. Still debating on what to do with the stickers.

Looks good for a budget cruiser and what you have laying around. Can always upgrade a little as you go. Better than nothing and not riding at all.

I would rather get caught riding a fat chick.

If that’s what you like, go for it.

Lol it looks like he likes fat chicks and tampons so he does not have high standards so the mongoose is to high of quality for him so he should stick to the cheap brands like huffy,next

I have trashed waaaayyy too many mongooses to have anything good to say about them. Sorry but I haven’t met a mongoose that can withstand 235 lbs riding it over stairs, jumps rails etc. They just don’t build them like they used to. I love my nutsack too much to risk riding one.

Got this on CL for $80, was covered in overspray and the back wheel had a nasty wobble.

Yeah, hi-ten frame. Got it for my brother so I could have my X24 back. Sold it to him for a hundo after I put a solid day into bringing it back to life.

Check out some of the offerings on my local craigslist...

I check it at least twice a day, the good ones don't last long.

I removed every decal on it and ordered some vintage decals from B.M.X.PRODUCTS.COM

Guess he's looking to resell it as a new kit as the barcode is still on the downtube

Hes selling the bike for 500$

i see this all the time local. new conversion, used conversions. i just think the builder took it
out and really opened it up but it was unstable, couldnt stop and generally just scary as hell
so they then put it up for sale....with the whole bicycle geometry at motorcycle speeds and all

6 months of old man torture should have some impact on it by now...

This all started with my 2yr old and his Strider balance bike. Didn't want to piss the wife off too much, so I went the cheaper direction for now. He loves helping daddy work on it ! The pro bars really made it feel like I remembered a  BMX felt

Cool

Best part is being able to wheel along with your son.

Got the same going on myself
