Like it or not it's a proper piece of BMX history, and an interesting part of the puzzle of why it took the BMX world so long to build a bike big enough for non-Spens?

The left over head tube down tubes based the build on the scooter they made.

I loved reading the bike test of this in BMXA (September 1980 edition).

The photos of it on the track are awesome.  8)

The guy in the Moosegoose ad is Danny Oakley,who rode for Mongose and was also in their r+d dept.

Interestingly he made a prototype 21" toptube Mongoose around the same time as the Moosegoose if not earlier 8)
