Picked this Mongoose all terrain bicycle from craigslist today. I thought it was going to have both pro class wheels but unfortunately the rear was not matching.

The good thing though the frame and all the components are there and the chrome is really nice.

Those are sweet bikes....too bad about the missing rear wheel.

I don't know why, but they do always seem to be really tall bikes. Here's the one I swiped a set of Pro Class wheels off of.

Threw some Sun wheels from the same era on there and sold the bike for $150 to a really tall guy. :mrgreen:

Now I'm on the hunt for a pro class wheel.

Man Steve I hope mine can end up like that.

I would have kept it....if I didn't need a ladder to get on it. :lol:

Seems like just about every chrome MTB that I have found from that era has been HUGE.

All I did was wash that one...it had been in someone's garage all that time.
