Featuring a well thought out design and quality parts the bikes are hard to beat, but damn do they look hideous. For 2009 they kept the same proven design but used a more traditional look to create a very appealing line. With the price of bikes, frames, forks, shocks going through the roof Mongoose's offerings should get some attention this year. Check out the Mongoose Boot'r DH race bike with an MSRP of $3999 complete. Also the Nugget looks like a fun little ride but I haven't found a price on it yet. So what do you think of the new 2009 Mongeese? _________________ Connecticut Mountain Biking Community ~ www.crankfire.com Posted: Wed Sep 24, 2008 9:58 pm Electric_City Tagger   Joined: Sep 11, 2006 Posts: 48 In my book, there's just way too much going on in there. Do squeeks and creeks drive you nuts? Try finding that one. IDK, I don't really like them. Aceman _________________ The Sperm bank is the only one giving me interest.

They are just like Manipoo in my book, they might have some good shit out right now but it is going to take a lot to get people back on board after all the bad news in the past. _________________ Ride a road bike 26" wheels are for gays Posted: Thu Sep 25, 2008 11:41 am Taz Site Admin   Joined: Sep 6, 2002 Posts: 1008169 Location: Door step of insanity Yup. I reviewed one: http://www.derailedonline.com/archives/000280.html The parts you get for the price you pay is unbeatable. I didn't have a single "squeek problem with mine" Just one link that tend to loosen - blue loctite fixed that. And they chunked the design of that link and made a better one for 2009. The names of the 2009 bikes are a little cooky if you ask me. Boot'r, Pinn'r, and Nugget. _________________ I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it.

Anyone who has ridden one says they like it.

Interbike 2006, the Mongoose was the bike that surprised me more than anything at the dirt demo. I rode one cause no other bike was available and I was just wanting to ride instead of walk around in the dirt. Wasn't expecting much when I got to the top of bootleg canyon, but my opinion changed when I got to the bottom. _________________ I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it.
