The bike has also doubled (trebled?) as a pub bike and a camping holiday rag-around bike. By its very nature (and diminutive stature) that any family member or friend can grab it and use it to go to nearest thing they need to go to it on (shop, bar, toilet etc). This bike has lived with a lock permanently attached to it somewhere (seatpost or handlebars usually). The bikes have limited availability, and are currently on pre-order for the next ship date, coming the second week of December. They WILL sell out, so if you want one, follow the inks below and order now to receive it before Christmas. Through it all, the bike has needed a few flats fixed and a bottom bracket teardown, to eliminate a creaking down there, and that’s about it.
The title line is eight sizes deep (Micro, Mini, Junior, Expert, Pro, Pro XL, Pro XXL and Pro 24).

I have been a writer for nigh on 20 years, a photographer for 25 years and a mountain biker for 30 years. I have written countless magazine and website features and route guides for the UK mountain bike press, most notably for the esteemed and highly regarded Singletrackworld. Although I am a Lancastrian, I freely admit that West Yorkshire is my favourite place to ride. Rarely a week goes by without me riding and exploring the South Pennines.
The 29-inch Street Performer is a big-wheeled beauty with a retro front triangle frame, double wall rims, and fully sealed bearings. These specs are just a little better than the run-of-the-bike-life mill. The only things that would be notably different would be the tyres (larger volume and knobblier), fork (more travel) and seatpost (much, much longer).
Mongoose designs BMX Freestyle and BMX Race bikes for riders of all ages and ability levels, and our bikes are trusted by some of the world’s best riders. To be frank, I think it’s a good idea to not to overly bothered about the bike and the parts that it’s built up with. Apart from the suspension fork, I don’t think think there’s any component on this bike that would be significantly improved by an upgrade. The bike is not a comfy or easy-going experience. Which is not so much a criticism, it’s more of an observation of the way things inherently are on playbikes like these. Today, we are looking, specifically at the Pro, Pro XL and Pro XXL models.
