Looking like a Fit, but the dropout looks weird for any Fit I remember but the number on the left starts with an F sooo

If anyone knows anything about MONGOOSE PRO, it’s Tim. He just recently bought one.
Don’t put 25.4 bars in a 22.2 stem.

do have photo of her frame
Maybe a Fly? Or Fit.
Email the serial number to Fit and see if they can pull the details for you. Failing that, try Fly. Could be an older Fly.

where can be search a serial no what sit
A little research has me thinking a Fly Tierra with a 19.6 Top Tube.
The serial number is the letter/number code on the right side of your top photo.

Different dropouts, different bridges, no gyro tabs, gussets
Classic ^^
99% sure the OP frame is a Fly Tierra V3.

The drops aren't noticably different on the computer I am on.
Gyro tab holes and bridges are about the best "no it isn't that one".
Eastern rear wheel, but unsure why "FT196" would be stamped on the BB...hence why I think it is a Fly. Fit doesn't have "FT" on the BB...
Interesting.

I'm on my phone and can see the dropouts are clearly different. And the tierra doesn't have gussets. I think it's a cheap stock complete frame myself. Judging from the stamps, the paint looks real thin, and it looks like it stamped very easily (there's no deformation around the edges, or excess paint).
Frame numbers very rarely give obvious clues as to what the frame is. Even more so on cheaper bikes

The serial number rarely does, however the additional stamp on the BB typically does. My Radio has "NEMESIS" on it (it's a Nemesis frame). My Failure had "FAILURE 205" on it (it was a grade 1 in 20.5 TT). A couple other frames I ran did too-If I recall correctly, my Eastern Journey had "Journey" on the BB as well.
The Eastern rear wheel and tires could be off anything, but it COULD be an Eastern, but that would not explain the FT 196.
I say someone email Fly with the serial Number and find out.

I know I don’t chime in on things often, but there is no way this is a Fly Tierra. I’m pretty sure all the generations of those had internal gussets, no externals.

The ft196 doesn't need to be explained, they're random numbers.
The frames you mention are aftermarket. Cheap completes won't have some breakable code on the bottom to work out what it is. The wtp frame I've got kicking around has 2 sets of numbers, and they don't mean a thing (maybe to wtp, but no clue to anyone else). And look at the quality of those stamps. I've never seen stamps like that on a good frame.
It's not a fly, unless it's one of their cheap completes. And it's not fit because even the cheapest of fit frames has the logo stamped somewhere.
Looking closer, you guys are right. Not a Fly. We need some more photos OP! One of the front of the HT, the bars, the stem, the bridges between seat stays, close ups on the dropouts too.
I've seen that DT gusset somewhere but cannot figure out WHERE.

Nope but a few frames have an F...it is similar to a Fly but the dropouts are different or look it.
