Looks like an early Supergoose that's had a platform welded on - doesn't look like a factory built one $:-\$ , get some close up pics of the welding on the platform and we should be able to tell

87 Mongoose decade

Thats exactly what i was thinking too , the decade looks nothing like that , the ones i have seen anyway $:-\$ .
I would defo say a home made supergoose freestyle

Looks like they did a good job too

Can't help you on the Mongoose I'm affraid sorry.

But have you got any Orange Brakecables amongst that lot? I need a front and rear.

Cheers bodamus

I would say a mk2 mongoose with bits welded on

I might be interested in the frame if you are thinking of flogging it

djgivvinup · « **Reply #8 on:** June 01, 2008, 09:47 AM »

Definetly not a decade, they didn't have a gusset, had different forks & bars to yours, plus loads of other differences.

It looks like others have said, an early goose that has had extra bits welded on? but didn't the supergoose have three holes in the rear brake bridge?

Or it could just be a mongoose copy, one of the reasons i say that is because of the chainring, didn't the early goose's come with a sugino or mongoose stamped snowflake chainring? obviously it could just have been changed at some point.

aerostylie · « **Reply #11 on:** June 01, 2008, 12:04 PM »

Fook me look at all that stuff

Fork standers yummy

jackel · « **Reply #12 on:** June 01, 2008, 12:43 PM »

looks nice i,d be interested in the bars if your breaking her up

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN · « **Reply #13 on:** June 01, 2008, 02:21 PM »

Rear drop out different length's ? factory spec/mistake ? - bolt on the mx 1000 has a wing nut ? - serial no ? - welds look well done and lined up either side? (camera not in middle when taken as i could not get it in there) is it a hutch donut ? whats the crank ?

sorry for all the pics but i thought i might as well put all, as then you can have a good look at all around bike

so goose or not ? if goose which one/year - test factory one ? any ideas welcome !

cheers B

cheers all B

It's an 83 Mongoose 2 (late one). The frame standers are an aftermarket add on.

hey this is an easy investigation

back in the days there were bike parks for parents to take there young children IE: like a family day out but in the local council parks which kids had to line up and wait for there turn to get a free bike for halfhour to ride a round . The park was laid out with traffic lights and you had to stop when lights were such colour this was to help for children to understand the safety of the roads which can be very dangerous. so yes its a free rental bike made up specially for these parks. hope this helps

PS: there were probably 50 of these bikes made up for each assigned location

I dont get it

. The more pics the better in my eyes. Help to identify it better

Defo an 83 goose.

Platform added by a very good welder, by the looks of the uniform tig welds.
By comparing them to the welds of the headtube gusset you can see the difference.

Build it up for a unique o/s rider, and enter bike of the year

p.s. quality Hutch donut seatclamp by the way (bit corroded though)

Some of those welds don't look too shabby for an aftermarket job though....

Wouldn't it be great if it was an undiscovered prototype? But I think the frame is too early for that kind of thing. Californians looked different around the time the trickstar came out.
