Does it matter where it was made?
Its still a 'BMX Products' bike.
Besides. My Cali frame is way better built than my old motomag frame.

the taiwanese make great frames
they are very hard workers!!!

Nice finds m8.... Super special that you find your first ride :daumenhoch:
I wish my parents had kept my old stuff... they lobbed everything except a snapped ripper and a yellow OGK mag wheel...the nutters.
Look forward to seeing them both when you have had the autosol out. I have always liked Rickman stuff.
The Ammaco/Mongoose is still a goose in my book wherever it was made.... if it wasn't for affordable bikes like Ammacos, Falcons and Burners etc then BMX would never have been enjoyed by as many people as it was.
All the best for the resto's

Don't be mad at me for bringing the truth, be mad at your dad! :daumenhoch:
I didn't ruin your childhood, I simply corrected a mistatement.
Truth hurts sometimes.
