No Chad didn't buy the mongoose. None of the bikes are for sale but he has lots of parts. We left with some flag valve caps, a derailleur, sissy bar & a couple of tires.
 
wish i'd known ya wanted a mongoose. i just gave one to a friends little guy. found it at a garage sale for $10. pretty much identical right down to the grips but the bike was blue and chrome. had a haro number plate on it also.

a little worst for wear but it woulda cleaned up real nice. tires on the otherhand where very weathered.

I have to ask-what was it like riding a high wheeler? I've always toyed with the idea of getting one of the many replicas available but it seems a bit daunting...

It was a little scary. You feel every little bump in the road with the hard rubber wheels & you can not turn sharp or you'll tip over. Also when you slow down it obviously becomes more unstable but it was lots of fun & I think it just takes some getting use to.
