What happened to Mongoose bicycles?
After looking into Mongoose, it surprised me just how much they have in common with GT bicycles. Thank you all for the recommendation.

I remember back in 99-2000 mongoose was already known as a walmart bike. Alot of us were honestly more shocked when schwinn went to Walmart though😅 atleast my generation. Huffy had already been know as a WM bike for a while before that even. I was big into bmx so i was always researching bikes and i found something that supprised me and i still think about it. Huffy even at that time and early 2000's had pro made in USA bikes, like top of the line expensive non walmart bikes. I never got one but always wanted one just to be different and show my friends a pro huffy bike. Anyways it would be cool to see a video on huffy (if you havnt already made one) i just found the channel.

@johnsmithii566 Ай бұрын

Those mid school Huffies were definitely not made in the US and were comparatively low quality vs other bike shop brands, as even top signature models (Jimmy Levan's for sure) used Cr-Mo for front triangle only ('tri-moly') . Same people that took over Bully were involved. The old school 80's Huffy race team were riding on custom US made frames, but I don't recall if any of the mid school Huffy freestyle/DJ team used re-stickered frames or had custom ones made on Huffy's dime.

I'm in the UK. I remember when those scooters landed. We called them scootex over here. And in the 90s when mountain bikes first came through. My main childhood bike was a grifter, dont know if they were in the US, they were like a BMX but we called them tanks because they were chunkier and heavier. When I got older I became a mountain bike guy. I couldn't get on with BMX's because I would always bang my knees on the handle bars. Even to this day my go-to bike is a quality hard-tail mountain bike. cool video here though. It's good to revisit the eras and progression from those days.

This was very interesting to me because I had wondered the same thing. I raced bikes when I was a kid as well having GT, Haro and mongoose settling on mongoose as my favorite. Years ago I was in Walmart to get a bike for my daughter where I saw Mongoose and was like WTF this was a very high end company which made me ask myself what happened. So thanks for this. One thing I didn't hear you mention was the price. My bikes were so expensive for that time. My parents flat out refused to spend that much on a bike so I would have to save everything from my paper route.

Dynasty bikes. You saw old road bikes everywhere in 1990's being used as loaded road tour bikes even old good Huffy models of Dynasty mountain bike of late 1980's early 1990's a Beach model and Mountain Bike was gone until a very unsafe bike was made in late 1990's to early 2000's. I had unsafe Huffy bought in early 2001 as a cheap under $110 including taxes special from a local True Value of all places before most if not all of the small True Value closed down in the 2000's. I stopped riding my later run of Huffy Dynamo Dynasty bike in 2008 when I noticed the wide welds were hiding gaps in frame when welds started opening up and apparently in early 2010's. I could have been part of a lawsuit where my parents could get money back on bike as well as if any medical expenses incurred by them or me riding bike. My brother had from a garage sale a late 1980 early 1990's version of the mountain bike and was way higher quality with the made in sticker saying being assembled in USA of parts made in Taiwan and China. Now these parts on older Huffy Dynasty (no Dynamo) are much higher quality of what would have been a $200--$300 bike in 2001 including a fork with crappy spring suspension encased in rubber and springs never working being too stiff unless doing very high jumps/leaps in a downhill ride and a hard tail as this was how some mountain bikes were made in early 1990's/. In early 1990's full suspension or mountain bike was not a thing as either fork or frame had suspension rarely both unless you bought a new fork for a suspension frame.

I loved my Trickstar but my last 20" I built a bike with all my favorite parts and I based it on a mongoose. I don't know what frame it was but it was their top BMX racer until I found a super goose frame and fork and it was the lightest and strongest frame I ever had. gt 3pce cranks hutch death pedals and acs z-rims and I loved that as much or even more than my hutch's when the 90's started like you said MTB bikes were the rage had a gt tequesta then some high end bikes , trek 9000 and a Gary Fisher or 2 but years went on and I sadly wasted 30 years to addiction but couple years ago when I got off drugs I found a gt that I really don't remember buying in moms garage. I was moving into my first house and its been with me since. that was '01 and I have no idea when I got the gt but I still use it today. I do know this was not a bike that was sold at Walmart or even the current pacific gt's its a 1999 back woods hardtail. its been stolen hit by cars crashed and its still is decent shape. it certainly wasn't a high end bikes but I just started working on it again last week after watching some old bikes videos. this video was killer.

My first BMX race bike was a Mongoose. Wish I still had it, but it was a tank. Both Huffy and Mongoose are making a comeback due to their exposure in the big box stores. Obviously those bikes are mostly low grade steel and sell in the sub $200 price range. Mongoose pro BMX racers actually use true Mongoose frames, but on the freestyle side, many of the Mongoose freestyle riders are actually riding a custom Laird frame built here in NC by Mike Laird thats just branded Mongoose.
