You are screwed figuring out the difference between a cali and expert. DIFFICULTĮXAMPLE: M3-K8634 would be mongoose/1983/K november/ 8634 (build number) the serials this year only give you the year, month, and build number, not the model. Now to the 80's gets even more difficult.ġ983: the first looptails come out. Some early serials start like this: CE9 or CD9.these 2 are may 1979 and april 1979. AGAIN NO WAY TO TELL THE DIFFERANCE between the Motomag and Standard. 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. TC was team or supergoose no way to really tell them apart. And the "9" is the last digit of the year.1979. (THAT'S WHY I GUESSED THE H WAS FOR A PLANT) The "C" stands for chatsworth", which is where the original goose shop was in cali. 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.
Serials were sometimes only 4 numbers, so looking at the frame was the only way to id the year.
I'm saying they changed their method of labeling.įrom 1975 to late 1977 the frames have no brake bridge, and had the coaster brake mount welded on.

H1D is not an 81 serial number because it doesn't fit the way they numbered their bikes back then, and H is not a plant. What are you talking about, you can clearly identify Mongooses for the first 10 years or more because they did stick to methods of labeling their bikes. "Hmm, yeah without a pic it's hard to tell mongoose never stuck to one method of labeling their bikes " I recently bought an '85 Californian on ebay and had it shipped from Florida to my house in Indiana and sure enough it was the same exact one I had sold 3 years earlier! It's amazing how these bikes get passed around. And I keep my old numbers in case I ever see it again.

I always keep track of my serial numbers in case they are ever stolen. Hmm, yeah without a pic it's hard to tell mongoose never stuck to one method of labeling their bikes and most times the stickers have been removed so it makes identification really difficult I only know so much about them because I run my own bike repair service and I've owned so many of them.
