Any thoughts on the mongoose maurice?

does anybody have it?

Any thoughts on the mongoose maurice?

Yep, terrible name ;)

Yes unipak

nope. no thoughts.

haha you have to love the name

is it that bad?

Nope. No, I don't.

Yes. Yes it is.

Saw it on display on our "bike to work" stand. The cranks looked like cheap rough casts with a coat of paint. Half link chain not really required, but I guess it helps shift boxes.

Right, now I should stop being such a knob...

Looks like it'd be fun to ride but I'm not feeling the colours etc; very 2007. Do they do a normal version?

Dante, once you've realised how unoriginal your post was, maybe you will look for things first, before asking such questions.

The Maurice is an OTP (off the peg) bike, so thats the thread you will find it in.

This is why no-one is answering you; because your effort was so minimal to begin with.

Dantee, I now realise that you are a troll. Goodbye.

hi im new on here, been lurking in the shadows for a good while tho
i actually rode one of these the other day
its well nice, seems well built
cane creek headset, weinman rims( if right spelling) comfy but ugly seat
pissed about on it for about 30 mins, grips are utter shit tho
paint grows on you, cranks are fsa apparently but couldnt see any branding on them
a bit of a weird one on the size, im 6'2 n the medium was right up in my sack
just wish i had 350 id go for it tmrw
but looks like itll be an 09 se draft lite

RuffStuff, for 350, I'd try to get the SE Lager, which is MUCH better than the Draft Lite.
Avoid the black, and get the white one if possible.

I would say for 350 buy a Dolan track frame of Ebay and build your own.

i'll probably get it, its only for school =)

i havent even got 350 thats the problem, i was looking at fujis etc but then add in changing bars etc n its up some more
i spotted the mongoose getting a helmet for my bird for her first racer to go to work on, went back when i was up the tip n got a good ride about on it
change the grips n rip the stickers off n id be happy with it for what ill use it for

but seen evans knocking the drafts out cheap, for same as those gash create things
and seeing as its just to get some weight off and try n rebuild the muscles in my knee so i can put off a recontruction for a while itll probs do the trick

im only going to do about 20 miles every other day plus can get some riser bars for a fiver off shit bay n its a cheap starter bike.
ive been struggling round on a 30 kg 97 gt lts fs dh for the last 13 yrs and it kills me so just need anything lighter than that tbh oh n piss cheap

Smashing colours. Very posh! Looks fast, fast as a rat.

anti

is that video using the stock version of the bike?

Dont like the Bike, but that Vid is about the best fixed freewhatever riding i have seen

^+1

The Mongoose Maurice? Yo is that the one with the built-in anti-theft paste?
