Kind regards................Glenn

Glenn sounds like an August 1981 Supergoose to me. Great find!

I have a Goose w/ serial # K2000926 , does anyone have an idea of it's year of make?

Thanks for the bit of info.  However the rear dropouts are not looped, but butt end welded.  Was this construction continued that late?  I'll try and post some pics later.

Let me know if this is rite. TCK9 242487

Apparently there is a crossover period where they both shared some time together at the plant. It wasn`t that they made the motomag style frames so late it`s more like the looptails started a little early.

so mine blue max, A3000129 that would make it a january of 83?

Yeah, that should be right there crash. The blue max and jag I think had the same serial style as their other cousin.

You`re 99 44/100ths correct. The "T" is for Team or Supergoose. Teams were powdered in red or blue over nickel. Supers were chrome. Now, there is some who say that some Supers were nickel up to a certain year then chrome or something like that. I`m too sure on all that but I do know that at some point the info I gave is right lol.

It looks to have been red at one time. There is a small amount of overspray in the gusset. Thanks for the info.

Hey, new to the site and rebuilding bikes.  I always wanted a Mongoose when I was a kid...parents would never cough up the $.  So, at 35, I finally am realizing the dream.  I got this frame Serial # is H149225, off where else...E-Bay!  The sticker in the post tube says Expert and 1984 and it has the gusset on the frame as well.  I have found no 1984 on this site that look like mine, and have the gusset. Help.  Thank you!  Oh, Yeah, what does Expert mean?

at first ('80) the Team & Supers were the same (nickle) with different components. when they moved overseas ('81) the Team was dropped and the Super got chromed. check out pg 3 & 4.

I have a bike that looks like a mongoose but has a brake bridge aswell as an extra gusset from the seat post tube and the bottom tube, It is weird and am not sure what it is, I know the old gooses had the extra gusset but had coaster brakes, then they had the brake bridge and not the extra gusset,my problem is that I have both.I have serial numbers in 3 positions, one on the right drop out is 651320, one on the left drop out is TH8303 and one on the bottom bracket 1132.Does any one know what bike I have?
