the "H" in that serial is the 8th month, which is sept. If you had the "T" in front, it meant it was a higher model, (team or super) if you have no "T" its a motomag or standard version. The "C" stands for chatsworth", which is where the original goose shop was in cali. That would be a team (or super) january (a) first month, "0" for 1980 mongoose. Mid 1981 to early 1982 they started using the stepdown dropout with the 2 holes machined in it, thus, the birth of the "super" dropout.

Here are a couple exsamples how to Read early 90s to Mid 90s SN's: this should get more detailed, i will keep working on it over time, email me if something needs to be added. thanks avery (LAMBOHAHA),michael (MCATER)and jim (HUTCHHEAVEN) for some great info. this is the first draft, maybe we can add some pics to this. This help with the blue max owners, but the serials are close, so once again, posting pics helps. We need more serial posts and any info, the mid to late 80's got confusing, this is the rough draft, but i busted my grass figuring out how to tell whats what, at least the most popular 85 goose owners know what they have. Here is an expert serial from the same year: but the cali and expert style frames carried the same serial (this is when it got wierd with the sellout) M7L*****.1987 right, but made in december 87.so would be considered an 88. I have one goose decade serial, the owner said the decals didnt look like a 1987, heres the serial I only have one clear example here due to lack of serial posts. This is from a lonnnngg list of 85 goose serials i have been storing and a few hints from a few that claim to know the secret.ġ986: gets wierd again, remember this is when the freestyle thing came in, and some companies started selling out or going overseas. Like this:Ĩ4 is another ames match but we need more serial entries like these.ġ985: gets easier (after emailing numerous owners all over numerous sites) Other than the cruisers which are easy to i.d. In 1983 you are on your own figuring out the difference between a cali,or expert, the only other frams were the mitigoose, and supergoose, which are easy to figure out. M3-K8634 would be mongoose/1983/K november/ 8634 (build number) *update* the serials this year only give you the year, month, and build number, not the model. Some early serials start like this: CE9 or CD9.these 2 are May of 1979 & April of 1979.ġ983: the first looptails come out. And the '9' is the last digit of the year.1979. the 'H' in that serial is the 8th month, which is sept.
If you had the 'T' in front, it meant it was a higher model, (team or super) if you have no 'T' its a motomag or standard version. The 'C' stands for chatsworth', which is where the original goose shop was in cali. To help make sense of the lettering is simple: if yours starts with CH9**** That would be a team (or super) january (a) first month, '0' for 1980 mongoose.Īnother hint is the supergooses had three (3) holes in the brake bridge after october 1981. They must be overseas frames but came in chrome so are supergooses. UPDATE: it seems that some time around 79-80 and later, some supergooses were made, but not in chatsworth. supergoose came in chrome only, the teams were nickel plated with either a blue or red coating. If it starts with: TC, this means its a team or supergoose.
Mid 1981 to early 1982 they started using the stepdown dropout with the 2 holes machined in it, thus, the birth of the 'super' dropout. Late 1977 to mid 1979 they added the brake bridge but lost the coaster mount. back then the serials were sometimes only 4 numbers, so looking at the frame was the only way to id the year. 100% Chromoly.Mongoose Serial Number Info Info On Mongoose:ġ975 to late 1977 the frames have no brake bridge, and had the coaster brake mount welded on. They came in Candy Red or Blue over Nickel.
