MOMBAT: 1985 Mongoose, chrome

1985 Mongoose

Always like the chrome bikes. Just seems like a nice finish for mountain bikes, no chipping! Back when Mongoose was a high quality BMX brand they decided to get into the mountain bike scene. You can see some of the BMX influences and the unique drilled rims.
