It supposedly went for $1100+ originally. The guy I bought it from bought it brand new to ride around the neighborhood with his daughter.







For some reason I can only see the one picture, but that year vintage was awesome for Mongoose MTB's. '95-'97 have some of the best frames, geometry, and part spec's that any bike of the era had. Just swap the fork and go, you'll love it.
