Enter the MongooseATB Bike Contest Here.Mongoose entered into the mountain bike world in 1985 with the Mongoose All-Terrain Bike, or “ATB”. Originally made with a chromoly frame and scratch resistant chrome finish, the bike featured a wide range 15-speed drivetrain with a 1:1 low range gear. The wheels were built using “Pro Class” lightweight rims, and the unique skinwall tires provide that “fat tire” comfort for the time.
Paying homage to the original bike is this new limited edition Mongoose ATB. Pulling inspiration from the original ATB, we’ve included elements like a small diameter Chromoly frame with chrome finish skin wall tires, thumb shifters, and cantilever brakes. Foam grips, vintage style saddle, and a Bullmoose handlebar round out the cockpit. A few modern tweaks include 27.5+ tires, 24 speeds with index rear shifter, and modern cross country geometry make this a fun ride on and off road.
While we aren’t ruling out doing another run, with only five bikes being made, one for Chris Akrigg and the remaining four for a select few this may be the most limited bike Mongoose has ever offered!
Three of these bikes are being given away on Mongoose Bike’s Facebook page at the link below! Register for your chance to win today!

The NORTH SHORE EXTREME-DOWNHILL DELUXE VOL 1, its what you are looking for!!!
But the kicker is all of this stuff is free and you're not out anything you didn't have in the first place. You make it sound like Canada is owed a box full of prizes and some 'Murican bureaucrat took it away.

It sucks, but it's their choice/contest.
All's well that ends well my commonwealth brother. :-) Except for the fork I guess.
It proves two things. One, you can have fun in ANY bike. And two, Chris Akrigg can make anything look cool!
I just want to go and ride my 12 speed / carbon wheels/ 160mm carbon bike right now!!
Brings me back to the day I "upgraded" my Univega Alpina to V-brakes. Thought I would be Hans Rey for, about 12 seconds.
Love these old bike videos, gonna get my '03 BigHit w/MonsterT back in action.
Raise your hand if you've seen a Mongoose on the trails. Anyone?
None of my bikes have a 1:1 now, close but I never get anywhere near them, I rarely go below 2:1.
Why are bikes so under geared these days?

26 for life!
Then I would blow out my knees trying the same lines as I do on my bike right now.
It's absolutely f**king criminal that this contest isn't open to other countries. Very disappointed.
Flash is outdated and should be left in the past etc...
I'm betting the Chinese Chrome doesn't stand up too long on the new bike. Walmart?
