You are right. Decals might be replaced. My frame is certainly a crmo one. Thank you for your help. Those decals are destroyed anyway, I should replacde them .Actually i also don't have an 1993 Mongoose catalogue, just a bit from other years.
However, I've checked the line-up in a German buyers guide for 1993. No fit, the Rockadile SX 1993 was black and came with the Duo Track, but from what i can see from the small picture, haven't had a monostay.
In 1994 the IBOC Pro was partly carbon, but already 1992 and 1993 the IBOC Pro was build with Aluminium frame with iconic triangular (Toblerone) tob tube.
Yours not.
Just a guess, maybe it's even older?
Color and frame-wise the 1991 IBOC Pro would be a good fit

This red variant was also discovered as 1991 model:

With that theories, the decals must have been replaced at a certain point of time, like 93/94 with newer ones, so also the fork. This duo track came indeed just with cheaper models like Rockadile or Hilltropper.
At least also the DX thumb shifter would be than original, because DX was stopped already 1992.
Still a bit of a confusing Bike

Hi Vesatoro,
i think the community here would be still happy to see those brochures, so am I.
Can you please provide scans at chance? To me even photos (in good light conditions without shadows and ideally from the top that the page is rectangular) would do this.
You could turn those pictures than easily into a PDF with online services like this one https://tools.pdf24.org/en/images-to-pdf
and upload it even here in this thread.

Thanks for reminding me. The 1993 catalog is available online http://www.mountainbikecatalogue.com/mongoose/1990-1999/1993/model.html
I'll try to scan the rest...

i have only an idea, that maybe 10MB per file might be the limit here.
There are some good online services which allow to compress PDFs easily.

about 20MB per file, 5 files max.
Pictures work much better as you can get as small as possible and still make the text readable and not blurred and do it over a few posts
or link to them offsite drives etc.
If you want me to do the putting up etc then PM me and i'll give you a email address to send pictures to, or the pdf and i'll pull the pictures out with screen grabs.

Hi, we have meanwhile most Mongoose catalogs, just 1993 is still missing.
This page has this catalog, but only covers and BMX bikes are scanned, the rest is missing.
https://www.vintagemongoose.com/pdfs/mongoose_cat93.pdf
This webpage is listing some pictures and specs, but the full brochure would be much better in my opinion.

@Vesatoro please scan the one you do have and make it available here.
As mentioned there are online tools like https://tools.pdf24.org/en/compress-pdf where you can easily compress the PDF to be able to post it here.
BTW: some other Mongoose catalogs not in the Archive are in this thread or at least linked
