New to this; Any idea what kind of frame i have here?

[mcannon85]

Hey all, new to doing rebuilds on bicycles, trying to know just what im working with here. picked this frame up from a buddy of mine today and didnt quite know what it was. i was thinking mongoose but i dont know entirely. I'd like to know so after i re-finish it i know what kind of stickers to cut out on my plotter.

Thanks!
Matt

is that mount for a kikstand or chain tensioner?

 

[mcannon85]

kick stand. soon to be removed.

Lower end frame. Kickstand mount and the fork with smashed dropouts. Build it and make it yours. I would like to see what kind of custom decals you do.

should be interesting but im pretty .... creative. we'll just have to see what it ends up like when im done. this is my first bike rebuild but i like to work with my hands and theres nothing like the sense of accomplishment when you look at the finished product. i cant decide what stickers ill do at this moment as much as id like to. but after having the frame and the grease and paint all over me for so many hours i know ill have the perfect name for it.

I wanna say its a Kent, just from the rear dropouts,,,,, but the rear stays say dyno, and then theres the forks... :roll:

is there a serial on the bottom?

that thing screams mongoose. (reminds me of the 2000 pro, 1999 super goose jr and the mini goose)

still on the fence though, it could be a cheap walmart goose or another companies attempt to rip em off. :lol:

 

[mcannon85]

regardless, shes mine now. and ive had my filthy hands all over her and am claiming her as mine. haha

I had a GT with seat stays that went over the drop outs like that but they were more pointed at the bottom. look it over closely if it has no engravings like GT, X-games, or Mongoose it's probably a Next.
