I scored a complete Team Mongoose, blue plastic coating, over MINT chrome. Not one speck of rust or corrosion. 100% Chromoly, as the decal would indicate, but this one is WEIRD. Instead of the "step down" dropouts, it has the seat stay, factory "flattened" (that's the only way I can describe it) where the chain rub would normally occur in the Mongoose frames. It's got some of the blue plastic coating missing, but really nice shape for a survivor. I have the matching fork, which is painted instead of coated over chrome. Original decals, but a little chewed. Drops are real good. Overall, it's great.
Here's the dilemma: What year is it and what in the heck is the story with that seat stay? It was done by the manufacturer, because the blue color is perfect in this area. Serial # T-CBO and under that: 283927
So could any of you Mongoose PROS help me ID this baby?
I can post pictures if neccesary. It has Mint Lester mags on it.. Plus some other Goodies...
