    1981 Team Mongoose - Made some progress on it

    A bit more progress... I got a genuine seat post clamp (was told from an '81 Supergoose) and I put some "riding around" tires on it. I want to keep the original Mongoose tires from getting damaged. Also, it now has genuine Mongoose red grips (not repops).

    1981 Team Mongoose - Made some progress on it

    I had posted this bike in my intro a week or two ago. I got this brand new in 1982 from a shop in Cockeysville, Maryland. I didn't change out much, but you can see some parts are not original. I pulled it out of my storage garage a few weeks ago. It had been in my parents basement until they...

    My old Team Mongoose...

    So.. Looks like we will be selling it. Been trying to do some research on what it should go for. Being told between $1500 and $2500 (big range) and I would like to narrow it down. Is this a rare frame with the 1982 type dropoffs (step type with two holes), no flat spot for the chain, extra...

    My old Team Mongoose...

    There is no "T" that I can see stamped near the SN, but this was bought from an Authorized Dealer brand new, and has the other tells of a full CrMo frame.

    My old Team Mongoose...

    I posted about this in the intro section earlier, but thought this would be a good place to put up some pics... I cleaned it up a bit, but I still only have my partially broken iphone camera (auto focus is bad, I have a replacement camera for it, but have to swap it..). I got it in '82, but...

    New member.. old Mongoose

    Thanks! Yeah, I was really excited to get it back then. I got this after I bent the frame on my Huffy.. I think that was when I was in the middle of a jump off a 6 foot dirt ramp and my front wheel came off mid-jump because one of my neighbors thought it would be funny to loosen my front wheel...

    New member.. old Mongoose

    Hello.. I was recently reminiscing about "the old days" and I pulled my old Team Mongoose out of my storage. I was doing some research on it and I'm hitting a wall. I got this bike brand new from a local cycle shop in, if I remember correctly, 1982... The auto-focus is broken on my...
