‘84 Mongoose ATB

[Chuy]

I already threw this bike onto Craigslist for a little too much money, ha. Part of me doesn’t want to get rid of it. I’ll list the specs and bits and hopefully someone can determine a valuation on it. Thanks.

Día-Compe brakes (levers, brakes, pulleys)
26” Pro Class Rims
Suzue sealed hubs
Takagi crankset and chainrings
Suntour shifters
VP-747 pedals "Bear Traps"
SR Slingshot Stem
Mongoose Headset
SR Laprade Seatpost
Suntour Seatpost Clamp
And probably a few other bits that I missed.

Thanks for your time! A few extra shots can be found here.

I have no idea what it is worth, but I know I like it!

Honestly, it’s worth more in parts. But you prob know that.
If I was selling it, as is, I’d put it up for $350. But prob wouldn’t get that in my area.
To the right person, that’s a deal. But it’s a smaller collectors/enthusiast circle then say, prewar, or bmx.

If it were mine, I’d keep the wheels and put other ones on it and sell it for $150

You are probably more likely to find someone to pay up on bmxmuseum or some vintage mountain bike site...or ebay.

Its a cool bike...would be nice for it to stay together.

edit...this was the most similar ATB that has sold recently on the ebay...

That’s kinda what I thought I could eventually get for it if I held out long enough. I would like to see it stay together too, it’s a looker but just not my style. I would keep the wheels but that means building another set of wheels and I don’t have that type of talent so I’ll have to pay someone to do that. Around here it’s $30 per wheel.

I appreciate the responses fellas.

A long time ago.

To be honest I should’ve parted that bike out and kept the wheels. I sold it for $420, which is a lot of money for that bike.
