 joe an old client of mine when i was working in the guitar shop called me to ask if i wanted to buy his old bike as i he knew i'd opened a bmx shop, and wanted it to go to the right sort of person to restore it and show it back to its former glory so heres what i gave £30 for

it has renthal seatpost and pro class looseball suzue wheels  mongoose stamped sugino crank
frame serial is m4c15083
 if anyone can tell me if its a super or a cali i'd appreciate it, forks stamped hi ten, i'm going to need some tyres as the thing came with solid tyres on not og for sure. also will need a decal set but will need to confirm bike id first, and a padset and some foil for the rims, the bars are crushed at the stem too so will maybe have to get some bars if its a rider,  i don't want to go nuts buying crazy priced stuff for it as its gonna be a survivor build as far as i'm concerned. it only turned up yesterday i stripped it down today heres some pics of the parts and the polishing job in store.

A supergoose has 3 holes in the brake bridge

wirewheel:
