Thats certainly not the Ammaco fresstyler I used to ride.....  My one (1984) was just a Haro snide in my eyes.  T'was lovely to ride though   :daumenhoch:

dunno if anyone knows but i see plenty of ammaco stuff sold referencing mongoose and they don't quite understand the relationship.

iirc  :D  bitd the bloke who owned ammaco went to america and saw mongoose which was a well big company.
he imported mongoose to the uk,thats why you see ammaco mongoose riders,stickers,jerseys.
you see ammaco parts here and there and when you know ammaco have been into bmx's since the very late 70's
it makes their stuff well old school and imo underated :)

like i say iirc it was years ago the bike shop my freestyle ace came from told me

That's basically how I remember it too.  Ammaco distributed Mongoose over here.
