Hi guys,

Ive been putting this one off for a while but now its time. In the next section of the vintagemongoose.com website, we are trying to work out production numbers for what months as well as sort out the 83-86 era frame serials once and for all.

Could you add ALL your serial numbers for mongoose frames from 75-86 era.
Also welcome is "BMX Products" made Jag, Bluemax, Decoster, Mototrac, Super X & Rampar frames as well.

My aim to to have a javascript on the website that you can enter a serial # and it tells your all the info possible.

heres an example format

1975 goose - #11443
1980 team goose TCH0 375891
1985 californian - M5-C12589


thanks heaps in advance

Kurt---I just have to say, that is the NICEST Moosegoose I have seen! I was always a fan of the Moosegoose!
Kurt.
Thanks Mark! This one started in Saratoga, NorCal, made it to Indiana, then Texas and now lives in Tasmania, Australia.

Kurt,
would the Indiana stop been from Moosegoose Nick? that is a sweet build, nice and shiny.

KWD,

now to answer the question at hand, my serial number is:
CH0 328458 CHATSWORTH AUG. 1980 KOS KRUISER

Sure was Bob! Sorry for the hijack Waz... Before:


Bob Poffinbarger
KWD,
that is cool that they are Renthal's. I know they have a plant in England that makes the motorcycle product that caught fire. were the bicycle handlebars
made in England also?

Kurt,
did you buy it out from under Waza? it still looks awesome. Nick recently moved closer to me so I get to see more of his inventory.
Kurt.
Naah Bob - I meant the hijack of this thread to talk about my Moose. LOL.

Nick has some choice stuff and was great to deal with. Props to Hurricane Henry for fixing me up with ex-USA shipping too. Great guy.
mongoosedrummer
Warren, I've got at least 15 going on right now, including a Mint 1975 with OG Nickel finish...

Will get more pictures for you hopefully at the end of the week.

Here's a couple of my naked Geese frames for now, fresh from my friend Daryl who Nickel plates for Orange County Choppers:

C 17440 and CF6 20485 (Cash Matthews 1976)

Bob yes they were from what i understand
i emailed them ages ago and they told me the same story about the fire
they had close links with Ammaco (mongoose uk) BITD
and bars and posts used on quite a few of the range.

from the best Moosegoose Nick and I can come up with is 1st gen. GT cruiser bars.
I am going to posts some new pictures this weekend of the finished product. why you
ask, Tone? got something in mind? I'll trade for uncut Kos Kruiser bars only, must be "28 or wider.
