1991 Mongoose Villain Freestyle Bike, vintage freestyle mongoose

Description

Listed here is a vintage 1991 Mongoose Villain Freestyle Bike In excellent condition for its age. It appears to have all of the original decals on it and they appear to exhibit the appropriate age with where, slight cracking or discoloration, scratches, etc. The wheels are 17 inch and the hubs are Sovos. It has the original mongoose petals on it and aluminum pegs on the back although I don’t know how original the aluminum pegs are they could be. The seat is a replacement as it says GT on it. I dated the frame based on the third and fourth letter in the serial number and the indication is that it was manufactured in July 1991. It has Dia Compe Bulldog Brake calipers. It actually rides pretty smoothly for its age and considering this is the way I got it. There is a little bit of oxidation and rust speckles to the front and we’re wheels especially certain areas of the rim and the spokes but they are not rotted out. This could probably be cleaned with some steel wool and oil. This bicycle appears to be a true survivor and as I mentioned is an excellent condition for its age is most of them are trashed at this point. Also there is a phone number sticker just behind the Gyro on the frame for the bike shop it came from but there is no URL on that to also indicate this bicycle is pre-World Wide Web. Please ask any questions you may have prior to bidding. I will answer them as best as I can. Thanks for looking and have a great day!
