from Ephrata, Pa, United States Date Reviewed: October 1, 2009 Strengths: The 1999 Mongoose Menace is a great bike all around. I like the fact that it is long lasting, on top of the features. The bike is lightweight, durable, and fun to ride. Weaknesses: The only weakness that I discovered is that the rims start to bend, but that's going to happen with any stock rim after 9 years of use. Also, I don't like how the bike isn't really an Anniversary Edition bike, it is only proclaimed to be one. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Street Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $40.00 Purchased At: a friend Similar Products Used: Nothing of the Mongoose brand. However, I do occasionally ride my 2007 We The People. Bike Setup: The bike is mostly stock. I am working on customizing pretty much everything. I will, however keep the stock parts, just so I could restore it if I want to in the future. The only things that are not stock are TSC rim strips, Dan's Competition Street/Trail tubes (extra thick to last long), and a TSC brake line. My plans are to replace everything except the frame and the headset (until the headset is shot, that is.
