Sweet lookin paint job tho 8)
I've looked for some detailed pictures of the mongoose wirewheel and they are a bit thin on the ground - didn't the mongoose wire wheel appear in the ammaco catalogues back in the day rather than the mongoose catalogues ? Had a look through all my mongoose catalogue scans and can't find it hmmmm..... maybe it was a UK only release manufactured outside the US ?? I'm sure there is a mongoose specialist on here that can spill all the beans.............. :D
I'm dyin to find out now ! What does the serial number look like ?
bobafett:
Right then - a bit more searchin and research and i think you might be right with the wire wheel ID which is technically an ammaco as it's a european manufactured frame that only appeared in UK ammaco brochures (hence why the drop outs don't appear on the vintagemongoose website) fook me they didn't half copy it with that niikata though ! Wonder if they ever got sued back in the day ? Still be interesting to see what the serial number looks like ;)
