1999 Mongoose DX 3.5
Pros: Like my gf said, "Rides like cotton candy on a velvet cloud!" I say it rides very smooth and absorbs bumps better than the aluminum bikes. the 34 tooth Megagear makes climbing hills a breeze and the 48 tooth top crank gear makes it fast too.
Cons: They don't build it anymore
Comments: If you find a used one, buy it. beats the heck out of new ones for comfort, albeit new bikes are lighter, but I don't carry mine, I ride it!
