1980/81 Mongoose BMX

Another thrift find... I love the thrift so much for reasons like this bike sitting in with a pile of kids' bikes.  This frame built in 1980 according to serial numbers (www.vintagemongoose.com).  Mongoose BMX.  I tried and tried to get a bmx bike when I was a kid but could never convince the parents.  This would have been out of their price range anyway... pretty cool to find.   I love chrome frames and when you can see the welds.  Cro-Mo frame, red nylon Tuff II mags, coaster brake.  Fun to have this one.
