Back in February, you might remember the post we did about Moody riding the new Mongoose 24″ prototype.
Now that Mongoose is getting closer to production I can give you more of the scoop on the new 24.
Not-so-great spy photo of new 24" Mongoose
As far as “spy photos” go, this isn’t the best (it was shot with a wide angle lens and it’s a bit distorted) but it should give you a relatively good idea of what this whip is going to look like.
Specs/Geometry:
- Top tube: 21.75″
- Head Angle: 74.5 degrees
- Seat Angle: 71 degrees
- Bottom Bracket: 13.6″
Did I mention that it’s going to be offered as a complete bike with a full chromoly frame and fork? No? Well it is. (Hallelujah!)
Other highlights:
- Removable brake mounts
- Chromoly 3-piece cranks
- 8″ handlebars
- Sealed BB
- Sealed cassette hub
- Pivotal seat
- Odyssey grips and pedals.
To make up for the less-than-stellar spy shot, I’ll leave you with this, friend of Cruiser Revolution, Trent Brocker riding the Mongoose prototype at the recent Woodward Old School Reunion. Radness!
Picture disclaimers:
- Trent’s bike is set up with front & back brakes but production models will come with rear brake only.
- Pic borrowed from Den Dowling’s flickr photostream.
