DT:
Hi all,
First post so apologies for green ness!!
I've just got into bmxing again and have bought what I believe to be a mongoose wire wheel.
Didn't pay a lot for it so don't think it's anything special.
Does appear to have a lot of original parts apart from a pair of acorn mags
Frame no on bottom bracket is 7197617 but no letters so don't think it's an original goose, either a copy or maybe an ammaco?
If anyone can shed any light on it that would be very much appreciated
Pics shortly but hasn't arrived yet!
Not a looptail frame, has the brace behind headset if that helps?

could be an ammaco 202? .....does it look like this http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,110212.msg1082270.html#msg1082270 ...?

also have a look at this : ... http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,165426.msg1653883.html#msg1653883 ..... there's a serial mentioned (bit down in thread) similar to yours: it's xGoose's MONGOOSE WIREWHEEL  :daumenhoch:

here's his bike with serial: http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,98587.msg1031577.html#msg1031577

...oh, and welcomee on räääd,  :laugh:

DT:
Looks like its a wire wheel, not super rare or valuable. It's pretty patinated but has gnarly original grips and peeling chrome etc but seems unmolested.
Will post pics once I get the hang of my iPad!
I'm going to use it so no resto planned and am really going to enjoy it 2nd time round (42 yrs young!)
Thanks for your help and thanks for the welcome!!

i have an ammaco 202, think it must be an 84 going by the serial. W84J935210 the serial is on the outside of the right dropout.

Jaypeg:
My wire wheel has the same serial number set up as yours DT.
