- In this video, I restored a 1984 old school Mongoose All-Terrain Bike, aka “ATB”. All the missing parts I found in my bike parts hording stash except the rad pair of Vans grips. It’s great to bring these vintage mountain bikes back to life.

I'm glad u kept it OG playah!
Wow what a beautiful bicycle 🚲
Clean. Nice profile.
Hey. My dad had one of these. In fact, it was the first "mountain bike" I ever saw, and I remember asking him why he needed so many gears! 15 seemed like overkill. Now I know.
That bike travelled a lot. Dad was working in China at the time, based in Guangzhou. He bought the bike from an American pal of his who worked for Nike. He'd brought it in from the States. Dad rode it in China, in Korea, here in Hong Kong, the UK and Spain.
I don't know where it ended up, but it was a fun ride.
Cheers
Great story, Brian! I'm glad this bike could bring.back.some good memories!
How many things do we manufacture today, that could so easily be cleaned and restored back to use like this, ready for another 40 years service?
Beautiful to see.
Sadly very few, that's why only a handful of reputable companies exist and are worth taking care of.
Awesomeness!!! That is a sweet bike. My fave bikes are from the 80's & 90's . Retro Mtn bikes are the best. Love that handlebar & thumb-shifters
I saw you pull out the bike and first I said to myself was... That's when Mongoose was cool. Then I heard your intro. Yup Every kid wanted a Mongoose
I was one of those kids who wanted one!
Nice job! That bike turned out nice. Looking forward to the next restoration.
Awesome build and a relaxing watch.
Them seats were so comfy 👍
Decent build, accompanied by some decent music. Life can be quite civilised sometimes...
As allways a grand bike this.
Vintage Sakae Randnner components always brings a certain Jena se qua to the bikes they're attached to.
So you have a good start on a pretty good youtube channel. These videos take a lot of work to put together. Your content is good, enjoyable, I hope you keep going. I like your philosophy of changing up some of your builds and doing others remaining true to the original bike and condition.
Thank you for your kind words! Much appreciated!
Such a pretty bike. Nice job!
what a sweetbbike
I was surprised that this is one of the best riding and most balanced vintage MTB that I have ridden. It's turning into one of my favorite!
Beauty right here!! 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for sharing nice bike and a great job. Des P
Sweet ride!
that bike is gorgeously spec'd I have the stem and am looking at a free spirit with an SR BMX setup
It's secretly my favorite bike out of all my builds!
interesting how some parts were market dependent. We don't have such Dia Compe brakes or such wonderful stems in Europe. It's the first time I see them.
Thst thing would look killer if the stem was polished and bolts cleaned up
Love the bike design th-cam.com/users/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L and functionality. It is hard to align the front tired to center the disk brakes. The brake wheel touches the stationery side of the brake caliper and pad. I aired the tire up to 40 psi as the markings say 40-60psi. Left the house for a few hours and came back to an exploded innertube.All in all it seems to be a good bike. Have not ridden it yet though so that's the max of my knowledge. Update, put a new innertube made sure the tire was set properly and it did the same thing in under 20 minutes as second pic shows.
Hi, what is the name of the device you are using to clean the small parts, that red thing? What is it hooked up to (I hear a motor on in the background)? Thanks!
It's a parts washer. They don't sell them anymore, or I would share the location where you can get one.
I have this same bike. I found it outside of an old fire department with a free sign on it in mint condition. It was so clean i kinda regret using it but oh well. Now it has a bt100 motor on it and goes 35 mph. I was trying to date it and everything is exactly the same except my forks seem to be the original and are different. They are more old school like flat top. I wonder if they made an 83.
I don't think Mongoose was very good with standards on their builds. I have seen both kinds of forks on the same year. It is defiantly confusing with this ATB model.
Really good job on bringing this old bike back to life..Where did you get that part cleaning machine at and what brand is it? Keep up the good work and looking forward to the next one..
I'm trying to find the solvent tank, but they are hard to find. I plan on doing a review on it once I find out who still supplies it so I can recommend it.
Hi Todd, great video. I have the same bike, except chrome. Somehow lost all five bolts (and spacers?) for the inner chain ring. Would you happen to know what size they would be? So I can order the correct ones.
Let me look and get back to you.
Nice find and great build video! What spray is that you use for cleaning the frame ? Those red ones are the rare ones ! you got lucky there most of them are Chrome... the wheels are extremely desirable especially the hard anodized ones
The spray is called "Totally Awesome" I think I got it at the dollar store but it cleans everything! Thanks for watching!
I have issue with the word "restoration" which means to make like new. All the "cool" kids are using it, but it doesn't make it right.
You did an overhaul. You cleaned it up, did what you had to, and it turned out pretty good if I do say so.
But it was not a restoration.
BTW, the front end (shifters,levers)is pure 1986/87 and I would bet the rest of the bike is as well. That deore derailleur set is in that year range too.
If you ever do an update on this bike, please use parts that do it justice. You kinda did it on the cheap this time. That was a very good MTB in it's day.
I picked up an almost pure catalog spec today for $10. The Pro Class wheels are one of the coolest parts these came with. Added to my future TH-cam build channel.
Nice job! I am getting ready to restore a 88' Specialized Rockhopper Comp. Where did you get your parts washer?
Unfortunately, they don't sell them anymore or I would recommend it. It's pretty handy.
Are these 27.5 inch or 29 inch wheels ?
26" ....all the 80s MTBs were that size.
Why remove “everything”,?. I don’t understand why?
It's so everything can be cleaned, lubed, and inspected, so the bike rides like new again.
Seems like a lot of these "restoration" videos are just dissasembly and cleaning so basically just maintenance. And cutting those cables seemed kinda silly since they were original and still good
Some of these are worth keeping original while others need to be customized. I will be doing both of these kinds of builds on my channel. When I find a bike, I decide what needs to happen to it. Thanks for watching!
Those cables were toast. The only cables I try and reuse are the really large diameter brake cables (2.0mm) and housings (6.0mm), especially if the frame braze-ons were designed. You can find the reducer ferrules for modern housings, but the thicker stuff looks cool and you get a bit stronger brake force out of those.
