Just got back off my hols and read this thread. Man, that astro is an :Aresehole: somebody shoot him before he ruins all our memory's. I've got my old quality Streetbeat but, when Dave (stodgy) allowed me to buy his Ammaco which is the same as my first BMX that was stolen it made my year. Streetbeat in the garage, Ammaco in the bedroom with me and my memorys every night. Thanks again Dave, she's a beauty :4_17_5: ;)

The guy (astrowhatever) has a point and is entitled to his opinion however I think it is flawed, a point of FACT is that Ammaco would never have been allowed to market a product without the copyright holders permission and if the copyright holder gave permission then technically and in a court of law the rights of the name "Mongoose" would have been assigned. Mongoose would have been all over them like a rash if they did it without permission, so no repro frame stickers; I'd lay money on them coming from the same printers as the US made Goose stickers.
The argument he is using does not stand up, it's like saying that a Redline or SE Racing bike today is not actually one or the other but an imposter/fake or that Ferrari is not a Ferrari as it is really a Fiat, Aston Martin not an Aston but a Ford, Lamborgini not a Lambo but an Audi and so on. Changes of phsyical ownership of the manufacturer or copyright/patent holder are irrelevant - it is what it is and is what it was LEGALLY sold as. If he don't like gooses after '82 then that's fine but his opinion ain't worth didly squat as gooses made after '82 are still gooses whether made in Chatsworth, Taiwan or Timbuktoo.
Restore your bike, make it like it was and enjoy :daumenhoch:
