mongoose fell off here in the states.... they are same quality as wallmart bikes.... in fact wallmart sells mongoose. Now a days the rider owned company's are where its at.
Gee that's really sad, guess the quality of the ones here have dropped too, I purchased my bike in 08, so if that's the case I'll keep my bike well maintained and going. Apollo bikes have died in the ass here, along with some other leading brands, Mongoose were the last of the quality bikes with cartridge ball bearings in the wheel hubs, bottom bracket etc, probably will go el cheapo now.
Like everything, they are all probably made in "CHINA" now
