Hi guys

This turned up today and thought was just a 79 goose but the T on serial tells me its a rare none flat chain stay September 79 Team goose??

Anyone clarify as I thought all none flat chain stay ones were 77ish....

Steve, the only way to be 100% sure on this would to strip it and wiegh it mate. Mongoose used to put the stamp on the BB's before, during and after fabrication so it could be either..... tragically I suspect without the flattend rear stay it's not and they just grabbed a pre-stamped BB when fabbing it up, but you could be lucky :-\

I'll dig out a picture of my '78 Team frame stripped down on the scales for you to check against if it helps bud :daumenhoch:

Very nice all the same.  Kap has one with flattened rear stays.

Hi, they did make some team frames without the flat stay, a motomag rear stay tubing has a 1.9mm wall thickness and a team frame is around 1.4mm, you can measure this at the rear drop out area with a digital vernier
