Help ID this please. It says Mongoose but....

Hope this is the right section to post in, I never get it right. 

Anyone fancy identifying this for me?

Well I don't know much about this, but I don't think its a Mongoose 

I had a silver fox BITD that had a front gusset like that

Similar but the rear drop-outs are very different.

Does your frame have a brace bar across the lower rear tubes? (I dunno what the hell that bit of the bike is called - behind the seatpost, the lower tubes).

ammaco had relations with mongoose around that time.

the drops look goosey.

jimmyp and kdw know a bit about old gooses.

superfox



shitty pic but it's this frame i am pretty sure!
they originally came with aero forks with "aero dyna" written on them
the one above has different forks though

[hotrodzombie]

How about this?
Silverfox?

[theRuler]

yeh silver and super were the same i think
just different components
the super was a higher spec
and it had the aero forks - like yours!!

they did change though. some didn't have gussets at all. then they did. then they didn't . . .

super lightweight bikes too.

[hotrodzombie]

Excellent.

So...if I found one of these, it would be a pretty good score yeah? 

[theRuler]

well, i like them
there was a dealer in cannock (near where i live stafford) that used to stock the whole mt racing / fox range so there was a few in stafford. they were good solid bikes. a little flimsy though, but fine when you are a skinny little kid! like most o/s bikes.

i have some hi res art for the downtube decals somewhere, that i redrew for a mate of mine's superfox that he was restoring

[crazy foool]

looks like the silver or super fox is a good match on that frame

should be a good resto but those rear drops look totaly wasted

[daz bmx it!]

Just found a pic of all the fox's and it doesn't look completey like any one of them? but as you mentioned some later ones with the little gussett you could be right?

[theRuler]

not sure whether it was later or earlier that had the gussets
the ones around my way were bought in 83-84 and they all had the gussets
the non gusset ones, i don't think they had the "aero-dyna" forks either!
