'84 Mongoose, '92 Schwinn, Diamondback MTB

[schwinnmesa]

I got some stuff today. These bikes are not eye candy, but the price was right. :lol: Beware of pictures!

1984 Mongoose with some really nice parts on it, not sure what I can get for the stem? Pretty heavy duty though. If only this was a KOS Kruiser though... :wink:

What's up with seat post clamps braking on them old Mongoose bikes eh Rat Rod? :lol:

Diamondback MTB, not sure what to do with it. I'll probably end up dragging it behind the shed with a shotgun.

Schwinn Sidewinder, same year as me! :mrgreen: I'm going to fix it up and flip it on the CL to hopefully make more than what I have into it... pocket change. :lol:

Nice score on the Mongoose ATB.

Did it only have the back wheel?

Let me know if you decide to part that bike out.

I'd like to get in line on the Mongoose. I'd be interested in the stem. Thanks

I wish the Mongoose came with the front wheel but it didn't. But that didn't stop me, I had a mint condition ARAYA wheel that was collecting dust. I'll fix up the Mongoose and put it on the CL, or keep it if I'm really attached. :mrgreen: I'm a sucker for chrome. The front derailleur was shot (gone, actually) so it has to be a 5-speed. I'm glad the whole bike is chrome because I just love cleaning it! Also, the AME grips were junk. The rubber has been melted so as I was taking one off, it just separated in two pieces? :lol:

As for the Schwinn Sidewinder... I spent hours fixing it up. The rear wheel was trashed but I got it straight. The front brake lever was broken but I had an extra (thanks for parts bikes!). :mrgreen: The rear brake cable was frozen but WD-40 did the job. Now it rides and functions great! I put it on the CL.
