depends

post up some info and pics

mk1 77-81 ish had a T before the serial number on the BB

on the mk2, stepped rear drops, have to generally look for a three hole brake bridge

how ever in 81 to 82 there are many half breeds due to the old material /frame stocks being used

check out the brake bridge.if it has a hole each side of the hole for the caliper then its a super,if its just got the one hole then its a mongoose,im assuming you are talking about the gusseted geese??

Just a vanilla Mongoose bud - is it dull chrome or nickel

alfie · « **Reply #8 on:** October 09, 2011, 06:57 PM »

i'd like to say nickel , but i think it's dull chrome

Oh, watch out for the shark's who might have spotted the Bottema forks on that bud - if they're originals, don't sell them.... ever, unless you sell them to me

dont think there Bottema M1's Spen, I'm sure the drop outs were longer and had a taper at the bottom..

dordymush · « **Reply #11 on:** October 09, 2011, 09:11 PM »

drops deffo different.

kungfunky · « **Reply #12 on:** October 09, 2011, 09:22 PM »

they look more like M2's but even they had a different drop out. Deff not Bottemas if you ask me

Spen69 · « **Reply #13 on:** October 09, 2011, 09:27 PM »

Never mind lads, just making sure some shark didn't swoop in - it's a public service we offer up here in Sheffield you know

i had a similar set a good while back on an old DB.
was told they might be webco.
still cool forks though.

kungfunky · « **Reply #15 on:** October 09, 2011, 09:40 PM »

if they are Webco I'd say there still worth a fair few pennies.
Hear what your saying spen

deffo not bottema's (i have a set)
they are not webco's either (webco's were box section)
they look like cheap bottema m2 copys to me

webco

bottema m1 skatepark and m2 race

m2 skatepark

notice the leg is longer on the bottema's

and on the race version the dropout is at the bottom of the leg

indeed they did dave but they aren't whats on this goose, the dropouts on the webco forks are longer like redline or the M1 bottema, the ones on this goose are like the M2 dropout.

round webco, notice length of dropout
