Title: MONGOOSE? HELP/ADVICE
Post by: HEYWOOD BMX on May 28, 2008, 12:48 PM

 :) I`ve been offered what is allegedly a MK1 Supergoose frame,but I have some doubts.Firstly the welds are crap,and also has chainguard mounts and a hole drilled through the chainstay gusset.It is in a poor overall condition -handpainted black & no stickers/serial no are visible.Would I be right to assume this is more likely to be a Viceroy or similar'sorry for lack of pics...
