However, they are not as good as mountain bikes for adults, and mountain bikes for adults are more internationally known and designed for easy stability.

Just like it’s predecessor, it features a durable 4130 Chromoly Supergoose loop-tail frame with retro-style top tube pad for ultimate radness.
BMX was one of the fastest growing sports in the country in the late 70s and early 80s, and Mongoose was one of the most recognizable names in the industry. They diversified into mountain bikes and scooters in the 90s, and they’re now bringing their two most famous BMX bikes back into production. Firstly, their expensive, SCHMICK bikes are retailed through specialty bicycle stores. Through this more illustrious product, Mongoose Bikes raise their brand profile by being deeply involved in sponsorship of professional cycling events, tours and individual cycling athletes. It’s the same size as the L40 at 20.5-inches but the handlebars are bigger (1” wider and 0.75” taller).
Taking your old school, mid school or new school Mongoose BMX build to new heights of catalogue correctness is now even easier. We’ve recreated a bunch of old school, mid school and new school Mongoose BMX Catalogues. Pages include original specs, parts list, serial number info and photos of catalogue perfect bikes. The most affordable of those is the Hi-Tensile, retailing at $529.99 USD for the complete bike, available in black and blue colorways. The Hooligan AL will set you back a little more at $579.99 USD. While the frame itself is made of 6061 aluminum, its rigid fork is the same Hi-Tensile steel seen on the lower-end bike.
The two 29ers are identical in their geometry with a 70° head tube angle, 71° seat tube angle and BB drop of 65mm. The top tube schwinn mountain bicycles length comes in a 640mm paired with 454mm chainstays. They are spec’d with a 48mm stem and 5″ rise bars at 730mm wide.
That one is the most expensive of the lot, retailing at $749.99 USD. Skip Hess started BMX Products, Inc. out of his home in Simi Valley, California in September 1974 with his first product being the famous Motomag One wheel. According to Skip “When the Motomags were the first and only product I produced, I could remain working from my home and garage in Simi Valley. I bought a van to transport the Cragar made heat treated castings to shot peening and then to the machine shop where after machining, the wheels were boxed and shipped. About a 1 ½ years later when I chose to manufacture frames and complete bikes I leased a small industrial shop in Chatsworth.
And we mean it — the limited-run bikes are scheduled to release on an unannounced date this fall. The geometry, materials, construction, and original spec will be the same down to the seat clamp, brakes, and colors. This week, Mongoose brings them both back — and everything that comes along with them. Put down your Atari joystick and dream a little dream of retro shredding with Mongoose Classics bikes. You’re 12 years old, and summer vacation feels like a dream with a special outcome. The next 100 days become one endless, repeating arc of waking up at noon, slamming two or three bowls of sugary cereal, and then heading out for the day’s adventures on your bike.
