About this product
This is a rebuilt 1987 Mangusta 5000 road bike, originally made by Mongoose, featuring a 54cm aluminum frame and 700C Omega wheels. The bike is a vintage model with no suspension and caliper side-pull brakes, characteristic of road bikes from that era. It offers 12 speeds and comes with a riser handlebar, finished in gray. The model year confirms its classic status, appealing to collectors or riders seeking a period-correct road cycling experience.
Our take
For anyone looking for a piece of road cycling history, this 1987 Mangusta 5000, built by Mongoose, is an interesting option. The aluminum frame and 700C Omega wheels provide a classic road bike setup, and the 12 speeds are typical for its era. It's clearly a vintage piece, so expectations should align with that—you won't find modern suspension or disc brakes here, just reliable caliper side-pulls. The 54cm frame size and riser bar offer a specific fit and riding position. At this price point, it's a good entry into vintage road cycling, but understand its limitations compared to contemporary bikes.
