Wonder what its worth??

Thanks

I'm starting to think that they never came in Purple???
Anyone??

That purple is the original color. It's probably worth more than the $15 you paid.

REALLY??
I looked on Vintagemongoose.com and found nothing about purple mongooses of any kind.
Just wondering what makes you so sure.
It would be pretty cool if it was the org. color for sure.
I think I would like to change the tuff to white though.

I sold a chrome M1 on eBay a year ago for $71.00. And it didn't have Tuffs. I'd say you got a pretty good score.

LOL
I ment "really" on the color
I guessed it's worth more than $15....

got the serial number off it under the cranks.
It M5 J0279
I looked on the vintagemongoose web site and found nothing.
The stick says 1985.
Any ideas anyone???

According to the `85 catalog, they only came in chrome or white. The color "Luscious Lavender" was not available until `86, and it was only on the FS-1, which was Mongooses first freestyle bike. Tuff's were not a factory option in `85.

Interesting thanks for the info.
I look at this and Its REALLY looks like org. paint
because were its chipped I don't see any other color.


I would love to find a FS-1 for short money.
those look sweeeet...
Are they a rare bike's??
