Well I don't know much about this, but I don't think its a Mongoose  :-\

I had a silver fox BITD that had a front gusset like that  ???

Similar but the rear drop-outs are very different.

Does your frame have a brace bar across the lower rear tubes? (I dunno what the hell that bit of the bike is called - behind the seatpost, the lower tubes). :)

superfox



shitty pic but it's this frame i am pretty sure!
they originally came with aero forks with "aero dyna" written on them
the one above has different forks though

yeh silver and super were the same i think
just different components
the super was a higher spec
and it had the aero forks - like yours!!

they did change though. some didn't have gussets at all. then they did. then they didn't . . .

super lightweight bikes too.

well, i like them ;)
there was a dealer in cannock (near where i live stafford) that used to stock the whole mt racing / fox range so there was a few in stafford. they were good solid bikes. a little flimsy though, but fine when you are a skinny little kid! like most o/s bikes.

i have some hi res art for the downtube decals somewhere, that i redrew for a mate of mine's superfox that he was restoring

crazy foool

looks like the silver or super fox is a good match on that frame

should be a good resto but those rear drops look totaly wasted

daz bmx it!

not sure whether it was later or earlier that had the gussets
the ones around my way were bought in 83-84 and they all had the gussets
the non gusset ones, i don't think they had the "aero-dyna" forks either!
