I think it is a cool looking bike no matter what the other people say. The frame is unique so you'd think someone might recognize it without denigrating the bike or its quality. I was able to identify an older Kona bike of mine, just by typing in "Kona" and some of the names of the components into a web search, so that trick can help! The comments you are receiving about false stickers and branding may be valid. The alternative is that you truly have a Trek bike that someone refurbished and purchased stickers for that they thought would be appropriate. For the Mongoose I am working on, I can't determine the model. Not even Mongoose or its distributor will help, even when given the serial number! If I buy Mongoose stickers, they won't match the original stickers and branding.
