Calling Mr Bobafett and other Goose Experts please!!...What is this frame?
stevesredvxr:
Ok so I already have a Mongoose Californian.......but I picked up another Goose today which I believed to be another Cali
from the description until I got it home and put it next to my original one and realised it was way from being the same.
For a start its a lot smaller and the top tube is a lot thinner...also the frame is a lot shorter.
The brake bridge also has a notch at the bottom. :idiot2:
Serial number is M4B0469..
Guessing it may be a Minigoose ::)
Anyone help?
Regards Steve :daumenhoch:

Cool.....are they rare?
Might be worth a build for my 7 year old daughter!!!

Steve, as Jonnygoose said, it's a Minigoose you have there bud :daumenhoch:
Here's my daughter's done with ProClass paint (I had it at MK with me) - look at the line of the top-tube into the rear looptail, almost straight. I suspect whoever owned it was running skinnies and had the brake bridge ground back for a bit of clearance :coolsmiley:
Nice bike, but un-ridable if you're over 5 foot tall I'd argue, and I know you are bud :-\ Pretty rare though - I'd deffo keep it and your 7-yr old should love it :smitten:
Oh, swap the forks onto the Cali as they are the right ones for it if you're keeping them both :daumenhoch:
Spen :daumenhoch:

Nah.
Same brake bridge on my 84 mini Spen - fairly standard brake bridge on a cali era mini - yours not the same then ? what serial you got ?
Steve as for rare - rare enough but not super rare - rarer than a cali that's for sure :daumenhoch:
