What stampings state 1998?
Im only new to this mate, so bare with me......
But from what I can find it states its a 1998 but from what lim iced info I do know its a 1999.
below is the website I got my info from.
https://shop.re-rides.com/blogs/news/mo … new-school
Mid-school Mongoose BMX bikes built through most of the 90’s have a serial number that begins with 4 letters. The 3rd letter corresponds to the year of manufacture.
A B C D E F G H I
91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99
The 4th letter indicates the Month
A B C D E F G H I J K L
Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sept Oct Nov Dec
Is this incorrect or am I reading it wrong?
Are you able to point me in the right direction for this model? For I can't find any catalogs or info on this frame, everywhere I look people have different looking frames and parts on a 1999 expert pro.
Thanks in advance.

Being built at the beginning of the year like that, for sure makes it a 1998 Frame, then in 1999 they came out as a complete or ??? (not sure on a Model for it one way or another)

Re: Mongoose Serial Number Info
My next question is why do some 1999 25th Anniversary Mongoose Expert Pros have different Seatstays (hopefully I have the right name for it).
Some appear to be stamped and others are not.
Am I looking to far into this??
Pics below are of example of what going on about.

Could it mean a difference between a Walgoose & a bike shop Mongoose(probably a long reach)

Again mate that's what my thoughts are.
But I didn't think they started doing them until after 1999 and this frame is 1998
