Those bike wheels are Mongoose Motomags.

Thanks for the compliments. I really had fun putting it together. I've got another one that's coming along and hope to have done soon and will share

Very cool. I've seen the pics of your bike around the traps.

I'm an old school BMX guy as well.

A couple of my BMX Products bikes. Moto Trac and Team Rampar.

I agree. Had the same wheels on my Mongoose Blue Max. My parents bought me and my brother matching blue max Mongoose bikes in 1980 while we were stationed in Athens Greece At Hellinikon AFB. The bikes came back to the States with us but we're later stolen and stripped. MP's found the frames in the mountains at Redstone Arsenal here in Huntsville. Stolen while me and my brother were swimming at the Enlisted men pool. Those blue max bikes were as legendary in BMX circles as a Baldwin motion car would be in anybody's hometown. Limited number of bikes sold only at military bases around the world.. I miss my bike. (I can hear "rosebud" being wispered.....

Cool story Tommy, one that I have read about a few times in regard to the Blue Max bmx's and the overseas military bases.
The Blue Max along with Jag, Team Rampar, Moto Trac and a couple of others were made by BMX Products, the producers of Mongoose.

The Motomag wheels that you see on these bikes were cast by Cragar for Skip Hess of BMX Products.
