Title: Ammaco Mags / Mongoose
Post by: BMX1973 on June 23, 2010, 07:46 PM

Anybody got any information on the above?

They were similar to Skyways but with a domed shaped alloy hub?

Had a look on vintage mongoose site and it looks like they have a picture but no info. Are they rare? whats the value?

Yeah sounds like acorn freestyle mags, flexier than a very flexy thing from flexville  :daumenhoch:

Cheers Fellas,  Acorn Mags that is what I was thinking of!

Did Acorn make other parts?

There were two kinds of mags, the freestyle versions that were like tuffs and the original ones that had way thinner spokes. I've got a funny feeling there was a frame too with a platform that looped round like the Skyway bolt on platform did. Can't find any pics of it though. Maybe that's the next holy grail ! Oh ok, maybe not...  :LolLolLolLol:
