Adult freestyle bikes are sized on top tube length, a 18.5” top tube is extra small for younger teenagers who have just moved up to an adult bike, a 20” top tube is small, 20.5” a medium and anything over a 21” is considered large. From a design point, it’s kind of apples and oranges, really. From a weight, geometry and design standpoint it is a better frame. Build quality completely depends on other factors that are beyond our, or in fact Mongoose’s control…
I.E, the early Motomag, Team, and Supergoose with the first gen drop outs and the double front gusset. The Motomag frames had a Cro Mo front triangle with a mild steel rear. I used to own and race on one of his personal aluminum Newman frame Californians, which was also made in Taiwan.
Most experienced riders know their preference, but if you’re new to the sport it can be difficult to know which choice to make. The main difference between the two is the way the bike performs when going backwards. Since Mongoose only offered these bikes in the continental USA they have been working hard to find a way for people in Canada, Alaska/Hawaii, Mexico, UK, ect, to get their hands on them and that’s where we come in. Obviously, the cost to ship to these states/countries isn’t cheap, but these bikes are affordably priced even with the cost to ship to these locations. Whether shop here at Albe’s BMX or at , we’re just stoked to help get these beauties to hardcore ‘Goose fans anywhere in the world. When you’re ready to hit the road, Mongoose offers a wide selection of bicycles in styles to suit men, women, boys, and girls and made to accommodate different skill levels and various riding experiences.
I’m surprised we didn’t see more of it here in Australia to be honest. A single-speed bike does not come with shifting gears and can be used for both children and adults. Most Mongoose single-speed bikes, such as the Mongoose 700C or the 20-inch Mongoose Brawler Freestyle, are urban/road bikes.
The Mongoose Deception is a mountain bike that comes with an assortment of features, such as a frame composed of aluminum and front SRAM grip shifters. The front fork of this bike has a shock mongoose bicycle absorber that creates stability by reducing some of the quakes when you encounter an uneven trail. If you want to change speeds during your ride, you have 21 different gears to choose from.
I dont own any American bikes, but I love my Taiwanese rides. I have a Taiwanese 2000 Dyno Compe that I just adore. The thing rides so good that my daughter just bought a 1999 off of craigslist.
