Serial Numbers
(located on the underside of hanger cup/bottom bracket shell):
1975 serial numbers were a hand-stamped five number, individual frame ID. They begin at 10001 and continue until early 1976 when a revised stamp begins to include place of manufacture indicated with the letter 'C' ( for Chatsworth, California) followed by the five number individual frame ID. It then changes again later into 1976 to include place of manufacture/month/year code followed by a five number individual frame ID. Example: CB6 ##### (C=Chatsworth B=February 6=1976). After February 1977, (CB7) the second generation frames appear without the extra gusset between down tube and seat post tube.

Can anyone tell me how to decrypt a Mongoose serial number? Ta Neil hutchheaven. Jun 6 2005, 09:16 AM. What is the serial # and then I will tutor you in how to read it. THAT is the kind of stuff that belongs in the BMX Museum! Yep, thats the stuff that belongs in. Serial numbers on Mongoose BMX bikes. If you find a Mongoose Decade for sale, a Mongoose FS1 for sale, or another vintage Mongoose BMX for sale, then you can tell when employees made the bike from the serial number. Old Mongoose bikes built in 1975 and early 1976 have a five-digit-stamped number. If there's a C above the serial number on your Mongoose, the bicycle was probably made in early 1976. Look for a letter and number in addition to the C above the five-digit serial numbers. In May 1976, BMX Products began including a letter and a number with the C.
