Let's not start this monster off again boyz...... Bob_Acid is right about the three holes only in the odd step-down rear drop-out models :knuppel2:

Supergooses / Team Mongooses didn't all have the three holes and the flattened stays - here's my 1978 Team stamped with the "T", with the flat stay but one hole......

It looks like a nickel frame if it's got a yellow glow to it and will polish up a treat. It may be a standard Mongoose, but you can do anything with them so clean it up, slap some bits on it and ride it like you stole it........ >:D
