What was the top tube length on a 79 Mongoose?
I found my bike from elementary school at my parents house and am debating restoring it... if I think I can fit on it.
Thanks,
Jay

I just bought one today, I ll measure it. But 18.5 sounds right. All of my old school frames are about the same size as my 10 year olds race bikes.
