What year is my Mongoose Decade?
« on: April 11, 2014, 08:41 AM »
Hi All

Just bought a mongoose decade and was wondering if someone can help identify the year-stamped on the bottom bracket is M8 - J5313

Many thanks

Jamie

Not sure on the serials but I know the later one's had an angled front standing platform rather than a rounded one

Sixteen thirty-two. What is that? A year?   No, it's your top score on Pole Position.

I'll be watching this build Jamie. I'm hopefully getting my complete '87 (I think) Decade today in the same colour.  Mine has the rounded tubes at the front of the platform. I'll be keeping mine as a Survivor too. I messaged danny about that one too. Bent seat post is a shame  :-\  There's a few decade builds on the go at the moment 8)

That looks great Jamie. I'm a fan of mine. Defo leave it as a survivor. Cillit bang with bleach works well on the wheels. Good luck setting up that Spin Tech, you need 4 hands!
