Great news !! Ill need 4 pairs.Whots next guys???Tyres?

Hey Moosegoose9 - try finding the molds for the Mongoose tyres first!!!....now that's unobtainium!!!!!

I'd rather have molds of the old Schwinn Scrambler block tire first. When one of those comes on E-bay it's a bidding frenzy. I loved those tires, they sounded so cool running down smooth concrete. If someone repoped those I'd pay 50 bucks for one

I can't remember what the original Goose tires looked like? Do you mean the ones that looked like the Cycle pro Snake Belly's? Or the ones that look like Comp 2"s? Or something totaly different. Post a pic.

Changstar

WE NEED SKIN WALL TIRES!!!! that would be the hit of the entire os community. no-one could deny it!

comp-2's snakebellys whatever....just make em and do limited runs in color.

Sure you remember. Roland has an original goose tire on the back of his rider.

lest we forget our heritage, waza and rick cool are our pillars.

Waza and Rick came by the ABA offices about a month ago. Cool cats for sure. We gave them the tour and let them shoot all the Mongoose goods we had in house.

I did the cut grip thing on my Blue Max but still will be buying some of these!

NICE JOB!!!! I bet you have another pair just like them. LOL!!!

Yeah the old Goose tire that was like a Snake Belly. Love the grips on the Blue Max. Gotta love the Blue Max, I never actually rode one. We were given Eric Rupe signature frames with Blue Max stickers. I don't even have one of those left, I should have kept my last one. Of which I sold to Chris Cole in about 1993. Never thought about it as a collector piece, somebody kick me now! I also was contacted by Rupe not to long ago, he does not have one either and is looking for one.

Changstar

Yo Changstar,

You still have your Mongoose "Eric Rupe" Cruiser? I remember you had that with some sweet Turbo lite hubs on it. It so, post it up brother!

SG

Yeah, I forgot about that one. YES I do have it, with the Turbo hubs. It needs some cleaning up but otherwise in good shape. I'll get some pics up. Till this day it is a good riding bike. Great geometry.

Just a quick update-

The Mongoose re-issue grips should be here Friday Boys!! We'll have them ready to go shortly after. If all goes well they'll be available this weekend. We also have some other great things in the works I think you guys will enjoy!

I'LL TAKE TWO RED PAIR A.S.A.P.
THAT'S A GREAT JOB
"KOS"

Thanks KOS!! We'll get you dialed in with those for sure.

Shannon,

Can't wait! Hurry Up!

I'm using original yellow Oakley II's on my rider. They are wearing pretty good. Bought them NOS on EBay. They weren't cheap especially to use on a rider.

BITD I ran red Oakley II's and red Mongoose grips on my Team Jag. It's the only grips I want to use on my bike since it's a loose copy of my childhood bike. Have you seen what red Oakley II's go for? So you guys are providing us with a great product for those of us that want to ride our vintage bikes.

jk

CAN'T WAIT
ONE STEP CLOSER TO FINISHING MY BIKE!
THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP TO EVERYONE
IT'S BEEN GREAT!!!

Changstar

website isn't workin. I've been tryin to order some grips but can't get to website. Just thought i'd let you know.

please disregard the previous post. I got it working. I just had to disable some protection on my computer. I ordered 2 pair. Thaks so much.

THANK YOU!!

I've checked the secure certificate and it appears to be in order. I'm not sure what problem you are having?

Thanks Bill!! I've just ordered a set in blue. Thankyou from Redland Bay Australia!

Bill & Shannon, great job and the site looks great..
I see that there is going to be an "SE" section. Tell me more, I need Hauler Decals... Thanks, amazing job guys.

Paul

Guys,

I want to apologize on the shipping situation. I'm going to take a bath on the first shipments as it seems the post office is checking weight and Priority Mail is not cheap. I've made adjustments on shipping which kicks in when you purchase grips which have to be shipped in a box. If you are overseas, my recommendation to by extras as gifts (joke).

I'd love to offer surface shipping but my experiences with it are not good. Decals are easy, they fit in the flat mailers but I haven't figured how to fit grips in an envelope yet.

Bill

hey Bill, here's what I got. But all I had to do was click continue to website. I was havin a brain fart and didn't see it at first. lol.

I apologize if this question was asked earlier: Are the Repro's made of a softer compound than the old ones? I am hoping they are! The old ones were brutal....Probably be still here when the world ends. Well old mongoose grips, twinkies and cockroaches.

jk

I've got Waza (www.vintagemongoose.com) sitting here next to me and he says that they feel better than Ame' grips. They are a softer compound than the originals but the colors are a dead match.

Waza is in town for a couple of days before we fly out to Rockford on Thursday.

Will they be available at Rockford?

Drop me a PM Nick and let me know what you want to order. Maybe we can take a few pre-pay special orders to Rockford if the quanities are right.

Bill...give a hand shake to Warren from me and Warren...give Bill a hand shake from me as well...!!!

Great work on everything guys...! I'd love to head to Rockford one of these days...I don't fly though!!!

Plus...I'd need a trailer to haul my bikes for a nice Mongoose display.

Have fun...

Hi Bill...if you want to save on the shipping for me you could allways send the grips back to Australia with Waza and he could send them to me once he's in the country....if it's ok with Waza? Let Waza know for me that the deal i had going with the pattersons is going to fall through cause the owner is going to list them on ebay...so i've got buckley's of winning either of them. Thanks for the leed on the Pattersons though Waza. I was so happy until i was told they we're going on ebay I almost had one!! LOL. Pattersons are harder to find than a vintage wheel trueing machine!! LOL. (joke for Waza) Let me know about the mailing of the grips though, cause if you do it that way i might grab a red set as well please. I hope this helps out a little and it's great to see Waza havin' a good time.

WAZA is swinging by ABA BMX again tomorrow. We are suppose to have some lunch. It's rumored he's bringing back a Mongoose grip order back to Aussie land. I guess we'll see sonn enough.

To all the Aussie guys:

Shipping on these grips is around $23.00US tracked etc. so waza is going to bring back a quantity of grips to save the aussies guys on shipping. So if you want some grips get in contact with waza. Grips will be the same price as Bill is selling them at.

He asked me to post this up as he has no computer access for a few days.

Got mine today. They look and feel great. Thanks again Bill.

Excellent! We're glad you like them!!

Got mine today! Thank you! My wallet thanks you too!
