Excellent score!! I would think every bike shop would have been picked over by now. Hard to believe you found THREE nos frames, wow!

That's it! I am moving to OZ!

Nice score! Were they out in the open or in a storage room?

Two were out in the open . . . just flew in that morning from overseas for my Dad's birthday. Was my lucky day.

we know we know.. hehehe

Unreal!!!

What years are they? are the sn's consecutive? Notice that the seat stay decals are different and that the color behind the mongoose logo is more gold than green. This is a significant find. I have a set of NOS mongoose Tange forks in nickel with the instructions on them I may be persuaded to let go.

Great find,
Dave

They're all from 1981. Not consecutive numbers.

Thanks for the offer Dave, will let you know.

Wow, what a find! Looks like a shot from an old Mongoose catalog! very cool.

cool-cool-cool

I knew of those gooses they wanted 350.00 each for them when I found them 2 years ago. nice.

nice score! are you going to build them up?

350 each, thats abit harsh for just frames.
I suppose they are nos though
Nice score champ

You're kidding me. I am crying right now. So rad. That red frame on the right is pretty much the first real BMX frame I had.

You're way out guys. I didn't pay that much.

I've been buying bikes at this shop for nearly 30 years. Bought my first BMX, then a Redline MXIII that I later traded in for a Hutch Pro Racer and later my first mountain bikes.

I'm hoping to find my Redline there some day.

I bought these on the understanding that they would be built up. They know I am a collector. They know the market now and too many people approach them trying to make an easy score.

I was very lucky that day. Yes, I will be building these bikes along with my other Geese!

Thats good to see you didn't have to pay that much. They told me on the phone 350.00 each. glad to see they have gone to a member here.

When the mongoose dist closed down, they rang this shop (if it's the one in Nth parramatta) and asked if he wanted their stuff. I saw these frames also and I should have enquired. He's got some good stuff hidden away too.
