The folks over at Mongoose have finally brought back the classic Supergoose and California Special!! It’s all part of their new “Classics” series coming this fall!
Out of all the legendary BMX brands embracing their heritage with retro, re pop and re-issue bikes, Mongoose was the brand we were waiting for! We were super excited when Mongoose did the vintage inspired Stranger Things bike and since then we’ve been dying for something like this!
“Mongoose remade these bikes in the spirit and heritage of the time period they were born, with frames designs, parts and colorways that mirror the look of the 1980s originals, It is an honor to pay homage to bike designs that played a big part in the BMX culture and the Mongoose brand decades ago. We are thrilled to share them with generations of Mongoose fans.”
~ Brian Baldis/Mongoose Director of Product Development.
