I used to have a Mongoose Pro/Expert. Very light weight, but also pretty strong. I remember laughing in the face of a friend who bought a Nyquist signature Haro(?) for dirt jumps and bent it at the neck within weeks.

Didn't take me long to find, only a few minutes ago I couldn't even remember the name. I would have got it in maybe 1990, Dad picked it up from a garage sale for $50.
Powerlite sounded familiar, then I saw the pics, decals, and there it was. 1983 Powerlite XL Pro http://bmxmuseum.com/bikes/powerlite/33180 It's still floating around in my cousin's shed, the frame that is, I was going to grab it last year and rebuild it. In about 1997-8 or so I banged on Redline decals, it had a Mongoose head steam, Mongoose grips. And a new seat, I remember the old thing was hard as balls. It got another restoration, so to speak a few years later. New grips, tyres and chrome pedals to clean it up and gave it to my little cousin.
