For anyone who grew up in the golden age of BMX...
We've just listed this original mid-1980s Mongoose Blue Max on eBay.
This isn't a restored show bike or a reproduction. It's a genuine survivor from the era, still wearing its original chrome, decals and battle scars from the last 40 years. It remains in working order and would make an ideal restoration project, patina rider, or addition to a serious BMX collection.
If you're now at the stage of life where you finally have the garage space, disposable income and opportunity to buy the bike you dreamed about as a kid, this might be worth a look.
The Blue Max was one of the iconic BMXs of the 1980s, and finding honest, unrestored examples is becoming increasingly difficult.
Full details and photos are on the eBay listing:

Feel free to share with any old-school BMX riders, collectors, or anyone who spent their childhood wishing they had a Mongoose.
