Title: Mongoose frame numbers....and Mongoose build
Post by: Moza on August 17, 2011, 07:53 PM: I got this goose of a friend who got it off here, ive just polished the chrome up (original) and was wondering what the frame number can tell me. Is there any sites for this or does anyone have the code breakdown.
