John, mine's a full chromo USA import remember and came with the original decals inluding the little "all tubes chromoloy" sticker on the top tube by the headset - the serial number is H3 something I'm sure but is stamped on the underside of the rear box section like on an 83 onwards Supergoose. Where are yours stamped then?

Steve, if your daughter will ride it then it is deffo worth keeping as a matching pair kinda thing as well as being a great little bike anyway.

Cheers John and Spen for your comments......by the way I'm only just above 5ft Spen!!!

Yes I think I will keep it...we've been doing her an aero reflex and she's loved cleaning, scrubbing and polishing it ( getting her ready for later life!!!)
but at the end of the day its an aero and I think the goose will be better investment.
The chrome is a bit pitted so may have it powdered.

Spen the forks are not in great condition and the tange ones I have on my cali are minter than mint!!! I will keep the tange ones on until I come across
some proper cali ones that are in good condition....although judging by Johns recent posts in the wanted section, it will be a while!!

If anyone has anything for either my cali build or the mini build let me know!!! :daumenhoch:
Cheers Steve.

Steve, keep the chrome bud - much tougher for those little people to drop outside the shop or fall off which is inevitable!

Try the coke & tinfoil trick, then buckets of Autosol - you'd be suprised at how good and tough chrome plate was back in the 80's and it will bling ;-)

To get a set of Minigoose decals I had to go to Bill over at Vintage in the US, but ask Jimmy as he may have them now as it was a good few years back when I first got mine and restored it before I chabged my mind and had the custom paint done by N2Cus. I'll see if I have any pictures of it built up in chrome and send them to you bud.

Gotta be cooler than a Reflex - just keep the reflex for when she's a bit bigger!

The reflex will go on the bay......I haven't enough room for what I have now....well thats what the wife says!!! 

Yep will keep it chrome just for you Spen!!  :daumenhoch:
Looks like its a trip to Asda today for plenty of Coke, Tin Foil, Vinegar, Lemon juice etc!

I'm actually glad it turned out to be a mini now..... :laugh:
