Mongoose year and model???
« on: July 12, 2008, 03:40 PM »
Find it today, pull out from the  original box. Never used, just the tires's dirty
because When I find into an old shoop I bring with me immediatly and go home
riding this bike. Not cleaned yet.
Inside the dropout is stamped: 1001
Outside  is stamped: D 63 - 20
On the bottom bracket: F3 U5
Any help to know the model and year?
Thanks
