Help I.D this newschool please,,

[zed4130]

Some Mongoose completes had frame numbers starting with HAM I think maybe 2-3 years back. The problem with identifying most new school stuff is that its all so similar it's hard to tell different companies stuff apart these days. Those forks look very similar to what came on the Mongoose Legion 2007 but that was orange and you say this one was probably black originally.

To conclude: I've been no help whatsoever 

   no you havnt     but i know what your saying, my mates bugging me now, he wants to know ,

I'm actually thinking this is a DK now - take a look at this 2008 frame on this bike here:

http://www.mailordercycles.co.uk/products.php?plid=m21b25s191p7207&z=7977

There's loads of similarities, check the ends of the seat and chainstays, the wishbone at the bb, the downtube gusset. It could be a DK complete say maybe 2007 or 2006 - earlier would probably had larger dropouts. The fact it has a US bottom bracket and small dropouts suggest its not that old but maybe a lower end complete bike which has obviously had upgrades.

Tell your mate I'll buy his Profiles for £5 so he's £2 in profit already

it's defo not a dk, i had a 04 6pack, and dk's have a gusset at the top, plus the older ones say dk on the wishbone,and the brkae bosses are different, and under the bb it would say 6pack etc, plus ive got a 07 4pack today, and they still have the top gusset , other than mines got a spanish bb,and a internal hset,  although this was my first gues aswell

Pah - foiled again 

It was the seatclamp that got me thinking cos it seems strange to put a big dk seatclamp on aftermarket

   thats the old one from my 6pack

Ah I see - throwing me red herrings 

There's a possibility its from a We The People complete actually.

This is too difficult for my old brain - I'm off to the pub

i was thinking the same, could be an early wethepeople 4-seasons

[zed4130]

funny joe ,i was looking at some wtp yesterday and thought the same thing, surly the holes in the frame would be a give away 

[darkersomeday]

 

5 pages! you'd think we'd have it pinned by now

i'm going to have to go through every copy of ride to i.d this fooker arent i?

[perry]

please do

ive gone through all mine but i gave away loads before i moved so i cant guess acurately without seeing each yearly change of each model by each manufaturer

youl have fun though , find pics of stuff youve forgotten about 

[HEYWOOD BMX]

  Not a W.T.P. 4 Seasons,as they didn`t have a wishbone.The plot thickens!

[zed4130]

ive gone through loads of mine 00-06  but loads at my mate across the road, ive got him looking , well it is his bl##dy bike    

[darkersomeday]

i'll have a butchers through

this is what made me think FIT, similar cable stop placement, the mystery frames chainstays dont look as "boxy" the look like they curve more?

[perry]

is there a "finding fee " to whoever can truely identify it  

fit flow is damn close but look closely at that guide and its split

how does that sound Z? a teat for the finder?

maybe some radbmx.co.uk stickers?

[zed4130]

sounds like a good idea  better ask the mods
