jumpt so high on this frame back in the 90s. so lite.🍻

[@jumpflyz]

Ah... that 80s freestyle seat doesn't go on that bike anyway, so don't feel bad that it cracked on it. The owner should switch it out anyway. :)

LOVE the old Mongoose bikes, really wish I still had my Californian

[@davidminsker5972]

That was my first cool bike

[@cyberlingbot3d896]

My older brother had a Mongoose just like that, it was black and gold, I eventually ended up stripping it and using some of the parts and then got a bit older and sold it. It was kind of a rusty piece of junk though.

[@hectorpinol7951]

To you two guys this is a great combination of input in a bike culture show. I had two of the classic bikes in the beginnings of bmx. A Schwinn Predator and a Hutch TrickStar. But I’m not trying to buy at todays prices and recreate those bike. That why I come to your channel. Great work and don’t doubt your knowledge. I love the new bike frames and parts we have now. Epic content & feliz cumple años bro!

Lol😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@mikehagen3785]

Those bars look like Race Inc. bars... Happy Birthday Phu!

[@timmylittle2973]

better to break the seat before the guy rides it and gets a nasty scratch or cut. one of my big friends broke a pedal on my bike two different times over the years. each time he was really sorry, i told him better you break it peddling on flat ground than me coming out of the air from a big jump or street obstacle. that guy saved me twice as the peddles were fatigued from abusive riding. i believe both sets were old school Primo tenderizers. hope you had a good B day Phu. thanks for the content.

[@josephnguyen4688]

I believe race inc made all those bars even for cycle pro

[@potaylor9992]

Woo Happy BIRTHDAY Phu Keep up the amazing work You and alf keep putting out those Hits.

[@LetsFlyThere]

Well, thankfully it snapped in the stand, and not the customers ass. Dope shop and build!

[@AlfredoMancuso]

haha valid point

[@ashpunting]

Happy birthday Phu and a shout out to Alfedo for bringing us this content 🙌 🎉

[@80sCustomBMX]

Thank y'all for all the videos I definitely appreciate them 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟

[@godzilla882]

Happy birthday Phu!! It’s my birthday as well, I’m 21 now.

[@josephnguyen4688]

And seats like that can easily have cracked by him sitting on it if it's been weathered

[@T4Eater]

Ya- and crackpots are selling them for 400 bucks. You guys can have them. Seats should be look at as a safety item. You wouldn't wear a 90s helmet on a motorcycle, nor would you drive a car with 5+ year old tires.

[@dropzilla8398]

Happy bday bro..I have a birthday question...how the hell is that seat post still attached to the frame being up so dam hi lol..looks like a mongoose diving board lmao..

[@azonly1fallenangel972]

Id gladly give you a hand shake for a bike lol

[@Hyper77276]

I have a 4” scar on my calf from those peddles, lol. I was riding and the chain snapped off and it went downhill from there. Obviously that resulted in a trip to the ER. Love the videos. Brings back so many wonderful memories.

[@spongeimperium126]

Not sure if it's cool enough for this channel, but I got a All origional 1994 Diamondback Viper XL with probably the most prestine chrome but it needs new decals. Would you guys know we're I could find new decals for it?

[@bobbygzzz7116]

Happy Birthday sir...im old n fat..bad back n knees...i sit in a office chair working on my bikes

[@skylarsoper241]

[@matthewroot1606]

Happy Bday!!🎉🎂love everything you guys are doin man, miss the shop.

[@josephnguyen4688]

That plastic seat isn't anything special looks like a freestyle generic seat imitation shotgun seat that usually stamped freestyle on the sides in gold but the white one probably faded off or just a generic you can find a white aero viscount call it a day

[@ocboy616]

Favorite person who wears jorts... Phu.

[@hectorn.6137]

Happy Birthday Phu!! Alfre, comprale una botella de gel antes de ir a el gogo!! Also, this is great presentation of how easy it is now to work on bmx bikes.

[@cfmechanic]

Happy birthday you phu. Wheel wok ing is the worst

[@atrax7023]

Meh trash it and throw a nice new yellow Kashimax Aero seat on it.

[@80sCustomBMX]

Well what did the customer say about his seat ??

[@cyclingchannel9470]

That seat is cheap it's not a Kashimax Aero or Elina seat.

@Phu Happy Birthday bro, how about I hook you up with that fake ( AlfredoMancuso) that I had stalking me via internet, he should have a nice present of prize for you. 🤣 All the best to you, for now and in the future.🙏👊

[@charlesgraham9954]

i saved all my money from working at 7-11 so i could buy the new Dimond Back Formula 1 BMX bike, and a GT layback seat post. total in 1984 - 460 dollars. 17-18 pounds of pure fun. going from a heavy ass Swin to a lite Dimond Back was night and day. smoother. easer to jump farther with, do tricks better. all around better bike than a Swin.

[@Younghead]

@Phu I had a Mongoose Nickel Plated like that one,I had a gold Suntour Stem like that one, but with no bend, and gold Raleigh Ultra Burner handle bars that were alloy and they would always slip when I did a hook up. On EBay a white M.X. B.M.X saddle like that one can be got brand for very little.

[@TreeBurns]

ever plan on riding anymore oro just these dumb shop vids

[@AlfredoMancuso]

I ride all the time, the riding videos just don’t get the greatest views

[@robertlund5694]

dumb shop vids 🤠👍

[@lysergic_visions3203]

Breaks things on his birthday 🎉 ez clap 👏 brah

[@nitrous07me]

I never cared for those solid plastic seats back then but could’ve plastic welded it, it’s broken anyway

[@LOVES-A1911]

Like the build, hope the guy is cool about the seat and wants to get something newer in either blue, yellow, or black, the white just doesn't match the rest of the bike. Happy B- day to Phu, maybe Alf will spring for a few shots and a lap dance.

[@josephnguyen4688]

Hb day phu thanks for letting me bring my tandem over

[@keam210tx]

I broke my OG kashimax seat one day when it barely tapped the car door and snapped the back dove tail part of the seat. It happens bruh

[@erikengstrom5267]

Rule number one. Don't bend your vintage seat on docking.

[@josephnguyen4688]

Those bars are either race inc rough Ryder or winn aluminum se made early power wing bars

[@boricuaallstar15]

Happy birthday bro, enjoy your weekend!!!

[@kirkwickham3336]

Ouch on that seat. Glad it wasnt a ELina Flyte tech seat those can for for up to $700

Maybe max can 3d print a old school style plastic seat

[@jackfrostem695]

Hello I am lookin for a bike I can do street tricks on and wheelies and little bit of off road dirt jumping. I'm 6,1 looking into a 26" kink drifter. My main question is idk if I need a freecoaster or if it makes a difference for tricks beside rolling backwards?

There’s slack when pedalling and it’s silent so that’s cool

Becarefull when moving them plastic seats back in fourth even over tightening or visce versa it can crack that nose easy especially if the seat has been stored in weathered conditions
