Q for the Mongoosers

[xGoose]

Anyone ever heard of a 'racergoose'? I saw one a while ago and thought it might be some kind of knockoff but Ive just seen another one, is there such a bike?

[kdw712]

certainly not from BMX products 1975 - 1985

but beyond that - who knows

pics, we need some pics

Could this be Malcolm Jarvis working some Ammaco evil in the early 80's?

[kdw712]

blimey dan you did't muck about there 

does have a ammaco look to it
i give you that

though the gusset doesn't look as swoopy as a Ammaco
or as badly welded on ....

Aye I remember that second thread.

As I posted in that one I saw this on Australian ebay a while ago :



There are a LOT of knock of gooses in australia as there were lots of copycat companies trying to cash in on the popularity of mongoose bikes BITD - racergoose being one it would seem

Here it is

Ive seen 4 now, 2 were identical and the other 2 posted in this thread just make it more confusing, one has a looptail and the one posted by Bobafett has different dropouts and gusset.

If anyone can ID this gusset please do, would you take a chance on this?

[steve Beech TA]

Think i agree with bob, i have never seen one  soz i cant be of more use

[bobafett]

 would you take a chance on this?

Would I take a chance on it as a mongoose ? No !

Would I take a chance on it to get some parts cheap ? Yes !

Yep, in fact looking at it I think it's identical to the grocery store Kuwahara ET which was made by Sentinal Bikes (Scorpion's parent company) for Kuwahara.  I think these frames were also marketed down under as another brand too

evening all ive looked into this and mr mongoose laughed at me when i asked him if he had any old ones knocking about in his factory like previously stated some company jumped on the bandwagon and cause its got goose in the name it sold, if i knew this back in the day i would have made some and sold a top spec goosy goosy gander and would be sat in the sun right now, hope this helps

Great info on this cheers all. Hopefully that closes the mystery of the racergoose!
