Tom: You know how much I love the Mongoose ATBs... Both the chromed and the reds. Yours is a beautiful build, and your friend will love it no doubt. I have the exact same one (in a big size) that I'm looking to customize. These last forever and are awesome all-around bikes. Peace, BB -- Y

Nice bike!! When I bought my 1984'ish Takara Highlander, I went online and found Bicycling Magazine's 1985 "All Terrain Bikes" book. In the book they mention that the 1985 Bicycling Buyers Guide they reviewed four ATB's, including the Takara Highlander and the Mongoose AT. One of the poster
