® MUST HAVE 2007 bikes to drool over RIDER INTERVIEW SABROSA one more reason to commute
Welcome to the 2007 Mongoose magalog. Yes, we have come out with a magalog to help introduce so much of the unique, crazy, and cool things that Mongoose continues to do to this day. It seems that throughout the history of Mongoose , all 30 plus years, people have been telling us what we can’t do. And every year we take those comments and turn them on their ear. Two years ago we introduced an all-mountain full suspension platform in the Black Diamonds that felt and rode just as good up the hill as down.

up conversation with him. He was a smart guy who worked in the Pentagon and for the military for years, and I don’t know if he ever really got the chance to ride. I guess I would have to pick my dad for the same reason. He never really got to ride either, and I know that’s something I look forward to most in the world is heading out to ride with my son in a couple of years. The third guy would have to be Doug Jicha.

Zero G™ 26 Mongoose Product Manager I n t e r v i e w cyclists that wear suits to work each day. That’s not the case at all; we’re a jeans-type-of-company and I’d say about 70% of the people here ride on a daily basis. We’re based in Madison, WI, so the relaxed, hard-working Midwest lifestyle is fundamental here. Oh, and dogs are welcome in the office too; they are just part of the family.

A day in the life of the sabrosa.... Ride Journal entry 32, July 24th: The alarm went off at 5:30 AM this morning. Made my coffee. Threw on some tunes. Mounted my thermos to the downtube. And rolled. Took the long way downtown. Hit the alley as a cut through to the park. A little single track before 7 AM. Can’t complain. Back out into traffic. Hit that last pothole hard. Weaved between a bus and a cab. Something about cabs makes me think they can’t see bikes.
