Does that Mongoose say Pro on the frame, if not just ride it till something does go wrong. Then move
on over and up to a good, better bike. All I can say .

Fire up MTB 03

Partly. It's the all in package, a good frame with good components. Mongoose has a pretty bad rep
since they got bought out by Pacific.

The phrase, 'you can't polish a turd' springs to mind...

Keep the good bits and get yourself a good fork and frame package.

And see, you can do punctuation and grammar when you try

So do you also think the new GT bikes are bad? just curious, a bud is thinking of getting one.

There's not a huge amount to go on yet. The GT bmxes look terrible, but it looks like they've so far
done an ok job with Schwinn mtbs, and the GTs are supposed to higher spec.

I'd be wary of the new GTs, at least until there's more info / feedback.

One not bought at a dept store. Doesn't have to be expensive.
