Post by: Jusjay on August 07, 2013, 01:59 PM: Does look very similar to an 83 ammaco Mongoose. If it is where these part of Mongoose? Are they any good?

Thanks for all your help

Post by: Jusjay on August 07, 2013, 05:58 PM: Cool, it looks identical to the first link. Is it worth restoring? The one I see is just frame and forks how much do you think it's worth offering? Needs re crome are they rare?

Thanks again

Post by: fischflo on August 07, 2013, 09:38 PM: sure it's worth - being UK bmx history! :yahoo_silent: one of these british geese recently sold on ebay.de for 400 euros including new tuffs and old cw fs bars - didn't find any other ones sold (here, too), so must be kind rare, i guess. - Turn it into a beauty in blue and you won't want to sell it anyway 8) :daumenhoch:

Post by: skki3330 on August 07, 2013, 10:57 PM: Think thats a Goose Grand Prix
Title: Re: Frame id looks like a goose
Post by: Jusjay on August 08, 2013, 12:33 PM: Wow so is there a way of definitively telling what it is from the serial number picture? As your right looks like either a wirewheel or a grand prix. Both look cool to Build but want to get the right one lol

Thanks for all your help guys

Post by: Jaypeg on August 08, 2013, 03:38 PM: Grand prixs didn't have a gusset...both were built by ammaco.

Decals aren't correct but easy to get a repro set.

Post by: Jusjay on August 08, 2013, 10:22 PM: So it's a wirewheel then cool. Is there a way telling the age?
Title: Re: Frame id looks like a goose
Post by: fischflo on August 09, 2013, 12:24 AM: i didn't find anything yet on the wirewheel code yet (xGoose's f.x has "7182148"; manilo's has "F3 U5" ... compare further, maybe pm boba or others 'please, can i see your bottom bracket ? :-*'),

but the "10 83" bit of yours: 100120 A4 10 83 30557
seems to indicate toward -> 1983 oct or march .... i'd guess :D soorry,
