Advice on a Mongoose Meteore Team


NoirBiker

Recommended Posts

I am on the verge of buying a mongoose meteore team( from a folk who seems inept about mountain bikes judging from his responses to my questions). The bike is used so I am not sure which model year it is. I want to use the bike for trail riding and a bit of xc(if possible). It seems that it still has its original components. If there's anyone who currently owns this or have owned it, would you please kindly give technical info on the bike, original components, how it handles on trails and so forth. I suppose it's an old model(2008/9) and the components might be of entry level when compared to today's components. I also attached pictures for clarity.

The Meteore frame has got to be one of the best built by Mongoose. In its day it was probably one of the lightest frames avaliable. It's pretty much a full on XC bike. The one pictured isn't that well speced, you should get it for a very good price. I owned a 2006 one and loved it until it was stolen out of my garage. Not sure if you will be happy with it as a trail bike though.. XC and marathon riding is more it's thing. Just my 2 cents.
