Vintage 1977 BMX Mongoose Bike

[Jayworld]

Kind of weird, I know, but would rather sell to a forum member that would appreciate this:

Vintage BMX Mongoose Bike for Sale. I am the original owner; purchased brand new in 1977 from Plano Schwinn (now Plano Cycling and Fitness) in Plano, Texas. Stolen in 1979 and recovered in 1979. Serial number was filed by thieves when stolen. Seat was replaced with a BMX Brooks brand seat when recovered in 1979. All other components date from 1977: vintage Mongoose red frame, vintage mongoose pads (Mongoose cross pad and mongoose logo gooseneck pad), vintage stickers, pedals, reflectors, yellow handlegrips. M-60 Dale Enterprises rare yellow/gold mag wheels and vintage black ashtabula forks. Mags are in nice condition; red frame is nice and well-cared for. Stickers show some cracking from age.

The only thing not original from 1977-79 are the BMX tires, which I replaced in 2012; they are brand new condition.

Asking $625, and would prefer to sell locally in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, as shipping would be costly (approximately $75). If interested or if you have questions, please PM me.

Thanks!
