Seriously, people need to shut the f**k up and stop slating mongoose. It's a perfectly fine bike company, it's just that people think it's "cool" to hate the brand, just as it's "cool" to hate Kona and Norco (over here in the UK mainly). Steve McCann rides BMX for mongoose, he's amazing. They also have Eric Carter, Andrew Neethling and Simon Tabron who are well-known names. Sure, they all get paid, but a rider is not going to accept sponsorship from a s**t brand who he won't suceed and develop with just because of the money. These companies sell bikes well and put a lot into the sport. The fact that they are more common must mean that they have a better value:spec ratio.
I don't know why Specialized dropped Romaniuk, the video was sweet. Shame we had to dickheads commenting below it.

the thing is though, they are famous. they are notorious for making piece of shit department store bikes which they have been selling in the states for years and years. until recently it was a joke to even see someone riding one, let alone own one. I'm sure their high end stuff is fun to ride, but it takes a lot to change peoples established ideas about a product.

I totally agree. I guess I am one of those people though. I will never really like the brand, and you wont catch me riding one but I also don't have anything against them. I bet they make a tone of cash on department store bikes. DH is probably a small amount of revenue. After saything that the bike does look pretty chill and I don't have anything against the people that ride them because I bet they can ride better then me. The video and the song was great.

Oh yeah and the department store bikes rake in some good cash for bike shops. They always have pretty cheap parts and are never setup correctly. Then once people see waht a good job you did hopefully they will stop by to get their next bike and skip the middle step of getting it fixed. That is hopefully the age of 16 and the car doesn't suck them away from biking.

Oh yeah, Special--ed was soooo goood...That's why nearly everyone who's ever had one knows how the Specialized warantess system works(rolleyes). Go look for a few broken Goose rigs, THEN go look for a few snapped Specialized bikes! And I can't remember the last time I've EVER seen a rider on the podium holding his fuking Specialized over his head, Not gonna happen.
And Steve didn't tun into a pussy, he grew the hell up, some of you kids should try it.
I've ridden Demo 8s and SX Trails for the last 2-3 years, bought a Black Diamond triple last summer and was SOLD. I sold it to make way for an ECD for 2008, soon selling that to get a Pinn'R and a Nugget.
Mongoose for Life!
And "lo rise" bars are for function, not for looks! People who actually RIDE bikes know this. You won't even find a true racer with a bar height over 40". Get with the program chillins...

For all the people complaining about Mongoose, they've been around for a long time. Before Mongoose bikes ever showed up in department stores, they were building great bikes. they were more into XC as most companies were back in the mid to late 90's but don't think that high end bikes are new to them. I can't remember why they ever got out of the "good" bike scene but i think they were having financial troubles but i may be wrong on that one. Don't get me wrong though, i don't think they were ever on the same level as brands like Intense, Yeti, etc...
Anyways, check the link below, looks to be around 1997-1998

People need to do their research and read their history. Mongoose has always been respectable, and always made nice bikes.

Dorel/Pacific has always been a mass-marketer. Dorel bought Pacific Cycles, and in turn Pacific bought Mongoose and GT. That in no way means that GT or Mongoose make crap bikes. It means Pacific (who was already making $100 crap WalMart bikes under the Pacific name) now owns the branding rights to GT and Mongoose and can legally put those names on the Pacific product to use name recognition to sell more bikes. In turn, Pacific's financial resources have allowed for design improvements in both the GT and Mongoose product lines. My friend rides a EC-X, and it is far from being crap, and nicer than half of the bikes in our crew.

Does anyone under the age of 22 understand simple economics anymore?

I think we understand the market, and a lot of us know that Pacific now owns a lot of companies. It was a sad day when GT was bought out. I still love GT bicycles and they still make some good bikes. It makes me sad though to look at department store bike and see that they really are all the same except for the color and the stickers. I also lost some respect for those companies. Now your just getting a Pacific bike with a new paint job. I know a lot of shops that dropped GT Bikes when they were bought out.
