Don't be put off... just build something else.  :daumenhoch:

Yeah not sure I could look at it the same knowing it's a fraud - not to mention those welds have got me a bit worried now! I'd rather know than be ignorant to it though.

The welds are nothing to worry about mate... it's still in great shape for a 30 odd yr old frameset.  :daumenhoch:

Could it be something Motobacane built under license from Mongoose?

There's a thought. Quick bit of Google:

http://www.mongoose.com/usa/roots/

And the relevant paragraph from it:

"BMX Products was one of the first bike companies to sponsor BMX racing in the early 1980s, and very soon Mongoose bikes began to dominate the sport. Mongoose quickly gained an international following as well, and in 1983, the French company Motobécane was licensed to produce and distribute Mongoose bikes in Europe."

So looks like they were involved in production for a time.

The Mongoose Grand Prix built by ammaco is very similar to a Motobecane and have similar stamps to yours.
