I do a bike check on one of my most beautiful classic bikes I had acquired, a Mongoose Amplifier II. Rescued from a scrap heap/junk yard pile by “Jake from PinkBike” where he beautifully converted “one man’s trash into another man’s treasure,” this bike is now completely built and is now a permanent resident of my wonderful fleet of bikes.



Also, please leave a link in the comments section below if you know where I can obtain replacement bushings for this bike.

Special thanks to:
“Jake from PinkBike” for selling me this frame for under $100 with the hope that it’d be built up and with someone who could appreciate it (which is me).


Risse Racing for replacing the entire shock for me:
