    Does anyone know what these 2 bikes are? I know the brown one is Mongoose, but I dont know anything else about it, and I dont know anything about the blue one.

    This one was rescued from the dump.



    And this one was buried almost completely in the woods,,,took 2 hours to unbury it.





    Does anyone have an idea of what they are??

    Damn!! this turned into memory lane, thats cool!! i didnt get big into the free style, allthough i had a SE Trick Master back in the late 80's.. it must be the whole generation thing because my two older brothers were into it (same age as u old farts..lol).... i actually like the vintage cruiser style bikes for some odd reason... i'll get a list of bike's he has this week...

    here is my Kuwahara

    Here is my Kuwahara. I got it when I was 14. I rode it about a month ago,,,,just after I taco'ed my mountain bike rim showing some neighborhood kids a 180 bunny hop.

    I pumped up the tires and off I went. They all wanted to take turns riding the bike. It really needs some help, but still rode OK.

    I can still do a Miami Hopper. The kids in the neighborhood have a new respect for me after I showed them my flatland tricks.

    I had things called Z rims on most of my bikes. Those were the lightest and seemed to hold up pretty good. I love the look of the mags tho... escpecially the perigrines.

    Heck.. now that I think of it I even had a set of wheel covers on the one diamond back (super streak) I had. remember those?

    I think that bike wieghed in at around 11 or 12 puonds.

    the Kuwahara i have is exactly like that but brite yellow.

    i never like the mags it bugged me how they flexed when you were riding. ive seen a couple break back in the day. i always was a regular spoked rim man myself.
