Re: Mongoose Serial Number Info
I can't figure this one out. Serial number start with two letters and I can't find any references for that. Any help would be super appreciated.

Re: Mongoose Serial Number Info
Hey everyone!
So I've been reading up on my Mongoose. And just getting confused.
Serial number: C3000099.
From what I've researched, its March 1983 99th built. Whats confusing me is the the frame doesn't have the hoop at the dropouts. It looks like the earlier 80s before the hoop. The brake bridge is a single hole as well.
Any help appreciated. I'll try and get pictures up.
Thanks.

Awesome. Thanks for the reply! It has the original stickers on it. And from my research on that, its an expert. Now I can start rebuilding! Thanks again!

That doesn't make sense. Got a pic of the whole frame?

Re: Mongoose Serial Number Info
It's a regular mongoose. A Californian or Expert,is a looptail,no gusset. You can call it a California Special,though. That was a model made with this frame. I have seen these late frames with the decals that yours have,before. I believe those are original for it.
These are California Specials

Working on pictures if needed.

Even a year would be a nice starter...
Looks similar to a 2001 supergoose.

Re: Mongoose Serial Number Info
Thanks Hobbes.
Anything more based on pictures?
Bottom tube has an odd squarish shape not cylinder...
