I'm sure it was so larger riders could still (comfortably) compete in the 20" class :-\

I think that's about the right mark, for the taller BMX rider. That pic does it no justice, looks like a Burner rider put that one together ::).

Post by: southern andy on August 16, 2009, 07:49 AM: I dumped one about 8 or 9 years ago before i got back in to BMX.

I bought it on a whim from some guy in Southampton for £20 with the intention of getting back in to the collecting lark, i didn't have the internet then so i was unable to really research in to what i had bought, all i knew was that it was a Mongoose of some sort.
I put it in to the garage after riding it once and when we did our next garage clear out of crap, that went with it.

After joining RAD, i saw one in the museum and recognised it instantly.

Whoops. :LolLolLolLol:
