    Hi all, just wondering if there's anyone out there that could help me out
    I'm looking to identify a bmx I bought recently
    It's an old school 80's chrome bmx
    I THINK it's a Haro but not too sure
    The frame number is LS94085702
    It has a few nice parts on it
    Any help would be great thanks

    The toptube through seatpost looks like a GT design, probably a GT performer from around early mid 90's.

    Looks like a Mongoose Rogue with Haro bars

    It sure looks like a Mongoose, however from the attached link, I don't see any serial numbers there, that start with LS

    Ye I can’t find anything with that serial number, is the lightning bolt cutout a mongoose mark?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,561 ✭✭✭Eamonnator


    I can't find ANY Mongoose with the lightening bolt.
    Yours has Fusion bottom bracket and seat post binder.
    Fusion seem to have been a Haro parts brand.

    Jesus, that looks disturbingly like a BMX I owned/built back in day!! :eek:

    I'm trying to remember the brand of the bit - are the wheels Proline(?) 48 spoke, the chainring an Odyssey with a spider pattern on it. I think the calipers were Odyssey too.

    It's a while ago, and I can't remember what bits I had on it when I sold it, but that's my recollection...

    That seems so familiar too - it was a while ago.

    I'm Googling like mad at the moment trying to see if I can ID it, but all it's really doing is making me wish I still had my BMX(es) :( .

    I wonder if I can put a GT Pro Freestyle Tour and a Zaskar on my credit card without the missus noticing... :D
    I can finally afford to buy the bikes I drolled over when I was a kid!! :p:D

    Looks a lot like a mongooses alright but the where the seat post goes is different it has a small piece sticking out where as on the mongoose rogue and villain it’s flush? And the damn lightning bolt cutout is still annoying me 😀⚡️⚡️

    Looking at that rear dropout I would guess it could be a Skyway frame :confused:
