Title: Frame id help please!
Post by: holwuff on May 07, 2011, 09:14 AM

Just picked up a bike locally. I think it's an ammaco, but just wanted to run it by everyone and make sure!
Unfortunately photobucket isn't allowing me to upload pics at the mo but will keep trying.
In the meantime. I will say it's chrome with the typical holed gusset and the little triangle cut out in rear dropouts.
The serial number is on the rear dropout and reads R63442

Will get pics up asap but it anyone knows what it is from that then let us know!
 :D

Not an ammaco Jas - not sure what is TBH, dropouts look very AKISU-ish  :-\

i'd think (either an Ammaco team special...sprint  or) a Mongoose would have a ridge "pressed into the front gussets on either side" ...(http://www.vintagemongoose.com/frame/gussets.php)?  :buck2:

Nope it's not an ammaco or a mongoose. This frame has half moon shaped cuts in the cusset plate - no ammaco or mongoose has this.
