It's a Jan 82 Mongoose Frame mate.  :4_17_5:


EDIT>>>> Not Mongoose forks though. Sugino OPC is nice though, bit of a polish, happy days. If you're gonna strip to sell then most of it is bin fodder. Frame's nice as is the crank set up.


Where the rear brake is, are there 3 holes in the bridge or one ????? If there is 3 then it's a Supergoose.

If the forks are Tange they will have T or Tange stamped on the steerer tube  :daumenhoch:

But they look a little foobar'd to me  :-\

No sign of any stamps on forks, going to get cleaning in a mo regardless!
Cranks and frame only have slight dusting, wiping off simply with a cloth.
No hubs have got mongoose stampd.....ones shimano and ones WALD!!???!!!???

Oh and no 3 holes on brake mount.

Kye

You'll have to remove the forks from the frame to see the letter T.  :daumenhoch:

Yep that's the same frame mate although that one has original stickers and better chrome than yours.

If you want a quick easy sale then sling it up for about £85.
