I have been dying to own a bike I could post on this thread, well here it is. It took awhile but I found the same bike I had new as a kid. Missing green fenders and front number plate. I don't recall what number was on my original.Does anyone know if the numbers have any indication of age or anything like that?

First year unrestored NOS Sunset Orange Scrambler I bought from a Mad BMX Collector about 18 years ago.

Awesome Phaze1! Never have seen a painted one before. Only ones I’ve seen were chrome. Personally owned 2 chrome ones. Broke one at the lightning bolt while riding it. Wish I had kept the other one

I’m sorry to let you know, but that frame is actually a Royce Union. The tell is the strengthening brace from the seat post tube to the down tube. Mongoose frame doesn‘t have that brace. I’ve owned a dozen Mongeese over the years and a few Royce Union.
still a cool bike though

I beg the differ, the serial number is correct, the welds on the neck are correct for a 76' and, unless you can provide proff that this is a fake! Or Royce union.... i researched these for a while...images are from mongoose archive and of my serial number

That lower gusset is a feature of early and rare mongoose frames.that is definatly not a royce union.
