Is anyone here interested in bikse. If so I was thinking about buying a new one and I wanted either a Shwinn or a mongoose. Which one do you guys think is better?

Mongoose, because it just sounds cooler.

If your serious about BMX, or any kind of biking, neither. I don't know what your looking at doing with your bike, so I can't really fully answer this question. I worked part time in a bike shop for a while with my dad, so I kinda know my stuff.

If your just looking to ride a bike around town, sure those will suffice. However, I suggest you get the bike un assembled, and do it yourself...or have it professionally assembled...or, at least looked over after you buy it. When they have mass assembly like that (at places like Wal Mart) the bikes tend to be thrown together quickly. Be careful.

I'd gladly help with any questions you might have.

I have had a huffy and a mongoose. I liked the mongoose go for it.

Well im not really going to be doing much. mostly just riding around. And maybe just throw in some bunny hops and manuals

I don't know anything about bikes besides they have two wheels and they're really fun to ride.

So I voted mongoose, because I hate snakes and mongooses kill snakes.

I have both a Shwinn and a Mongoose.

The Mongoose can endure crashes and stuff a lot more than a Shwinn can so I vote for Mongoose.

I have...well, had a Mongoose before some bastards from down the street broke into my back patio while I was sleeping and stole it.

It was pretty damn durable, and I put a lot of mileage on it. Too bad it started to rust up anyway because of Florida's humidity.

Always wanted one of those little mongoose bikes like some of my friends had. But I got a mountain bike instead. I say go for the mongoose.

GoFlyAKite · 12-07-2007, 10:57 PM

Never had either, I've heard Shwinn is good though.

Get a mountain bike instead.
