Ok I feel like I'm the only one on this site that dosent have a little bike that you cant ride so I went garage saleing today to find me one. I must have gone to ten before I found something other than those next ones. This guy had this one and said it had been in his family since it was new in 1983. We kinda dickered around on the price and finally agreed on $25 I still think I got took. I know the seat wont hold me and I'm going to have to throw that away. Its just a little piece of plastic. The rims are funny too with all the holes in them. May need to change those too. It was in good shape . no rust to speak of.The thing dosent even have a kickstand ...I probably have one that will fit.

SueWeet! Love them ol gooses. I'm really partial to the redlines, but that is just one of them bikes that I always wanted as a kid! I see that your from Pearland. I'm taking the family and a friend to Galveston this Sunday for a ride on the seawall. I know it's late to plan, but I'd like to throw an invite out there for you and whoever else might be local and reads this post. LMK- bigjohn

Dont know if your familer with freeport but if your ever looking for a really nice (nicer than galveston) beach to hang out on try Quintana . We went last weekend and man it was nice . blue water all the way to the beach. No concrete to ride on but really nice and not alot of people either. :wink:

"Give" is kinda of a strong word like "hate". Better find something to trade.

Well Stretch, if it was April 1st, I would call shenanigans. I just can't get over the amount of vintage BMX you guys find in Texas!

If Steve's house is too full of Mongooses, feel free to send it my way. I have one I'm trying to fix up and it needs pieces/parts. I'll give it a good home AND ride it. :mrgreen:

Re: Cant bet them then join them

OOOOOOOh we have a winner ding ding ding ding !!!!!!! I bought it for Steve this morning and his dad is going to run it up to Dallas . I figured it was a fun thing to mess with everybody with. You will see it on Steves fresh finds in a while . It was fun though everybody actually thinking I would have a little dinky bike. I'm sure after a close inspection that if I stuck my 270 lbs on it I would break it for sure.
