Price on this is SLICK!
This ultra-durable L500 features a Mongoose full 4130 chromo frame, removable brake mounts, and mid BB shell. 21" top tube length.
The bones are good you can replace parts as needed with better ones
Another notable difference is L500 has 48 spline cranks, L100 has 8 spline.

What's that mean?
In the context of BMX bikes, 48-spline cranksets are generally preferred over 8-spline cranksets due to their higher durability and strength. 48-spline cranksets, also referred to as spline drive, have a more precise fit between the crank spindle and sprocket, leading to reduced wear and tear, especially under continuous pressure. 8-spline cranksets, while a more affordable option, tend to wear out quicker, especially with heavier use.

Thanks. That helps lol. I just got mine in the mail. Purely nostalgia. I'm too old to pull off tricks.
