My first bmx bike was a really nice used 1980 mongoose motomag with the motomag 2's on it, it was given to me in 85 I was 5 now I'm 42 and its still in perfect shape and I still ride it occasionally
Ha, we used to bag on Our buddy because he road a motomag mongoose! What I would give to have his old bike now😫. Such a nostalgic look. I’ll say it again “RAD Build”
I like the way it looks now,nothing wrong with a bit of contrast,keep the gum walls. Attention to detail is bang on especially with the black t shirt and cap, I wish I wouldn't notice this shit but I do.
Nice simple colour scheme. Love it. The motomag sticker would ruin the look unless you got a custom gold sticker made. Gum walls dont look quite right. Other than that, top job.
NICE! I think that for a daily rider the "Stranger Things " bike is a good platform to start with, all black knobby tires would be the way to go with that one as they will make the wheels pop.
This build reminds me of my favorite bike as a kid! It was the same color scheme, gloss black frame & gold wheels and stuff. It was a Huffy though and probably not top line, but Man I thought I was rad! 😂 Has to be my favorite Christmas gift growing up! 👍🏽
Oh man I had a black and yellow huffy as a kid too!!! I remember one Christmas my dad surprising me with some yellow skyway mags and I then added yellow pads (button ones) and yellow grips and seat…..no mongoose for me but I thought I was rad too😝👍🏻
Yeah definitely go with the all black tires i think the tan walls take the spotlight away from the gold motomags. I've done business with BMX Products before their stickers are top notch!! Another Rad build dude!
I like the idea of the build, and it turned out great! I’ve built some decent riders out of frames the purists would cringe at some of the old Royce Union bikes are great for builds
I know it's not correct but I prefer the mongoose sticker and motomag sticker in opposite so if you put a pad set on you can still see mongoose on bottom tube .
One more thing the lever you have on there you should bend it like the old school racers had If you need help on Al you can always contact me on Facebook
Okay, so what does everyone think about doing a newer style mongoose race frame “curb-jumper” w/these gold wheels? Is it blasphemy?! Or f’ it- do it?? Not looking to do a total replica. Just want to bring these Motomags into 2022 and just make a cool longer BMX to ride around the hood on! Yay…. Nay??….. Oh Subbed BTW!💪🏽
"the quality of these pads isn't great" 😂🤣😅 there is not one piece in that box that is quality, i had the reissue Californian and it was bad. The good thing about them is you can ride a bike that looks like a retro bike without screwing up a retro bike. I realize you are partnering with mongoose so I don't expect a coment. I will say these reissue bikes are a novelty and not a reflection of the quality of mongoose's line up of current bmx bikes. I think it was really a department store bike made for stranger thing fans that ended up becoming collectible and spurred the reissues so overall success for mongoose. I have my moto mags and think it's going to be hard to find a frame now🤦🏻♂️

Black sidewalls...killer bike...good job!!!
Always a pleasure to see what you're up to my brotha. Great meeting you in your neck of the woods. Peace and keep it up!!!
cool build I feel like the mongoose sticker should be on the down tube though at least that is how I remember it anyway it looks awesome Cheers

Cool build!
An idea I had for my son’s stranger things bike has now motivated to do this. Looks great! 🤙🏼
Gum wall. Looks awesome
All black tires. The brown walls detract from the main focus. Think the all blacks would make the gold pop….another beautiful build, awesome man!
All black tires. Can't wait for the update!
Looks awesome brother, great work!

I would like to see all black tires on this Mongoose Motomag III great video!👊😎💯
That is sick
Glad you like it. Hope you subscribe
NICE!

Love it, looks sharp. Solid black tires will make those MotoMags pop even more.
Another RAD build keep'um coming. 😎

Black tires please but looks good motomag sticker would be much more authentic

Cool, thanks!
I did the same as it was a good starting point.
You should do all black tires
Looks dope!
I know it's not correct but I prefer the mongoose sticker and motomag sticker in opposite so if you put a pad set on you can still see mongoose on bottom tube .
This is awesome!!!
Needs a gold 44t motomag chainwheel IMO
All black tires
Hi there nice built. U think I’ll be fine with the new repop 36t power disc with 18t freewheel?
I grabbed 2 bikes and a bucket of parts of Craigslist and among this I found one Motomag2 bmx products Huntington Beach .1977
Very nice
What stem is that?
Where do you order your decals from?
I mentioned it in the vide! BMX Products
@@RadBMXBuilds appreciate the response, never quite got time to dive into the video yet but I will. Thanks again.
@@Freedom-ik2ij 👍
Does Oakley make grips anymore?
Yes
May I ask what size stem & crank you used? Thank you
The bike looks RAD but since you only used a few parts from the stranger things why not just but an original frame and fork and add the new parts??
Build a mini goose
No
One more thing the lever you have on there you should bend it like the old school racers had If you need help on Al you can always contact me on Facebook
No to gumwall on that build , solid black tires better

Too bad they used hi tensile steel not chromoly for the Californians and the stranger things bike

Mongoose grips were awful
The gumball not good not the Era from the mongoose master since 1973
I don’t care. I build bikes how I want. I’m not a purist
I can tell.
