mongosse hybrid mountian bike

any else got one

I've got a 2002 Mongoose Randonneur - it's probably either
an entry level touring bike or a commuting bike, depending
on how you look at
it. After I upgraded some stuff, I'm happy with it!

What do you have?

Mongoose 850 Crossway, here. Not much experience with bike,
but the only complaint I have with mine is that the tires
just don't have enough tread - must change them. I had a bit
of an oops last year (destroyed a perfectly good backpack,
but my back would have ended in up in a similar state
without that, so...) and feel that the lack of grip might be
the reason.

Other than that, it's a fantastic bike - easy to ride and
great fun on bike paths, roads, trails etc. Wouldn't think
of any serious off-road (mountain bike) stuff, but that's
why I bought this - I don't do off-road.

Any of you guys ride a Mongoose around Hawthorn and ride a
"cruiser" style bike too?

I spotted the guy again today (who rides the cruiser) and
wanted a closer look at the bike, but he was on a
Mongoose today!

No fair! Bring back the cruiser!

hippy

Not me I ride either the Randonneur, or a 20+ year old
custom framed 10 speed racer which I picked up for $7 for a
pawn shop, beutiful bike, was obviously someones pride and
joy before they got ride of it.

I do have an old cruiser but I'm not riding it until I get a
chance to replace the bake pedal breaks with hand brakes.
