i asked dave "beard" about that one

could be the real deal as the headtube badge looks proper riveted on there
or be a miss mash of two bikes

a couple of things i've just noticed too

the cable guides on the TT - not a standard mongoose feature (though could be clips)
also the the seat stay gusset the hole is pushed out and on normal mongooses its pushed in

and that Bot brkt gusset was on the 75 / 76 goose frames

a serial No would be nice - i never got a reply on that point

I think one of the Rampars has a Goosey looking gussett. Ask Crossrider or Hotrodzombie on the Burner forum, they'll tell ya :daumenhoch:

its a rampar. because on the rampar headtube stickers it says 'THE RALEIGH' and where it is supposed to say nottingham, england it just has loads of dash's like this '///////////'

skip hess/BMX Products did have some involvement with the rampars builds i believe
so that would explain a fair bit

can't remb if its in the auction or what the seller told me
but the bike is South African branded

def worth a punt i'd say  :daumenhoch:
