Title: Â£3 at the dump! new school or 90's
Post by: holwuff on May 19, 2008, 10:28 PM: there was i busy working in the garden today, and on my 3rd trip to the local "dump" i decided to have a look round the salvage section.
there waiting to be saved was this sorry looking mongoose!
well i couldnt leave it there so i asked how much, "Â£3" the huge miserable dump monkey grumbled!
and so now its at my place and i am wondering what i have bought!
i cant see it on the bmx museum, it has a sticker on the inside of each chain stay with "mongoose.com" and as you will see, rather large rear dropouts, turning it over to look for a stamp, it just has "48" under the bottom bracket!
i assume is less than 10 yrs old, anyone know exactly what it is?
