Rad Vintage Old School 1979 Chatsworth USA Mongoose BMX Bike, Motomag II ' S
Item History & Price
Made in Chatsworth, CA USA September of 1979. The bike is much nicer than the pictures represent!
The Mongoose Motomag candy blue frame is in excellent undamaged condition with no repairs or rewelds.
The Motomag II wheels are in excellent vintage condition, no web damage, cracks or repairs! Wheels were serviced years back including grease packing of axel and bearings. They still spinning effortlessly.... The Mags are smooth and unpitted and were meticulously polished back then. It wouldn't take them back to a brilliant luster.
Rear Bendix coaster brake performs as it should with no axel clicking.
OEM snowflake sprocket and crank set with vintage matching blue rat traps. The bike pedals nicely!
Rare vintage Mongoose Pro Comp bars mounted on rare Mongoose double stem.
Original Mongoose stamped 7/8 seat post clamp.
Very rare long chrome seat post (lay backs are for freestyle bikes, lol) with vintage Persons USA messenger saddle.
Killer vintage 20 X 1.25 knobby tires with no cracking wrap the Motomag II's.
Vintage Pro Comp Ashtabula forks were the era's #1 competition upgrade for lightweight strength and durability.
Vintage bmx grips and plate with old school stickers!
CONDITION:
The bike is from my personal collection. I have owned it for approx 25 yrs. I know I'll regret passing it on, but its time to pass the torch.
It was owned, serviced and maintained by a certified bike technician prior to me. The bike was occasionally ridden by me in the past and will show a few minor scratches to the paint and decals here and there from use, moves and storage. Expect some minor unnoticeable rust specs associated with vintage components. The vintage number plate has a small chipped off piece as seen in the photo. The bike comes from my personal collection and has been dry stored on display in my loft as pictured.
The tubes may need replacing. They both hold air but appear to bleed out with long term storage.
A bike of this quality does not show up for sale often!
Parted out the components such as the Motomag wheels, frame, double stem and fork alone easily sell for more than the starting price!
THIS BIKE IS A SOLID INVESTMENT AND A SLICE OF AMERICAN PIE!
A sound paypal credit purchase if you're looking for an alternate payment method.
The Motomag bicycles have gained a lot of recent pop cultural interest from the hit Netflix series Stranger Things.This is the real deal made in California, USA bike and not the made in China Stranger Things reproduction.
