Had a blast of the inspector and stripped the yellow off the goose , no cracks and fairly straight not sure what to do , like the idea of a survivor but the nickel may be a tad too gone

Is that the original candy red paint inside the gusset . . . if so, I reckon that's a Team Mongoose frame

Damn . . . would've been a nice bonus if it was a Team

I like the early Goose F+F . . . proper old school geometry and styling . . . should never have sold mine back to "theRuler"
