<< < (3/3)

Mattdub:
I'm no Ammaco expert ( apart from knowing the obvious mongoose link bitd ) but if Phil ( sawzall ) thinks it's one then he'll probably be right , he's been around old school bmx for quite some time  ;) .

Scott30 , best to ask for details ref an ad for Ammacos ref colour .

Black/Gold decals would look good on many colours , white/red etc

Scott - having looked through those ammaco catalogues mate it could be this 1984 Silver Star - looks very similar - hard to tell if it has that brace cos the chain wheel is in the way but it looks like something might be there ? Bloody hell that looks like a late 70's or very early 80's goose frame though ! With the year being 1984 i wonder with them being kind of a UK sister company, mongoose let them have their earlier design since they had moved onto the looptail calis n experts by then ?
Still be interesting to see some close up pics of the welds (particularly round the front gusset) and the serial number under the BB (if there is one  ;D )
Noticed the forks look the same too ;)
Here she is:

Just to throw a final cat amongst the pigeons mate - I had a trawl through some of my mongoose picture folders on my PC and found this lil fella - it was on ebay Australia a few months back and was being sold as a "racergoose" guy said it was an 80's frame but was an australian mongoose copy from back in the day. It's got the right shape, dropouts and brace weld

Right i'll p!ss off and leave you alone now mate so you can build your late 70's mid 80's mongoose-ammaco-racergoose-puch-special-edition-freestyle-racer
