79 Goose build thread - update 21.07.14

Jaan:
John and Steve, thanks for the information. I appreciate it.  :)

I must confess to being out of my depth with Mongoose.

The forks are without the larger boss and look identical to John's 81 Motomag 1" forks. I think that's cleared it up.

Also on the motomag 1" forks it has a welded washer on top of the boss for the crown race, the competition forks don't have a welded washer for the crown race , because the team / supergoose fork boss is larger as stated by Steve, it is just machined away to fit the crown race down on top of it.
I just re looked at your forks and they are definitely 1" forks 81-82 for motomag, they could even be later 83-85 california or proclass forks but that's not my era so not 100% on that.

When Spen comes online we'll get a definitive answer. As I said at the top of the thread we dealt a while back, before the "Great Crash of 2013" so any PM history was lost into the ether...

Spen69:
Evening all

It came as that with the forks but they aren't Team forks and god knows with any Goose if they're original from the frame.

Over the water they built the frames from whatever was lying around at the time so it could be anything under the paint!

Jaan:
So this build is more custom than catalogue especially as its not even the frame that I thought it was!!  :crazy2: :LolLolLolLol:

Shall I run 3PC or 1PC crank? John (snoopy72) has offered me his Super Maxy which are lovely, or do I look for a Dura Ace?

If I go for 1PC I have NOS Takagi and Sugino or do I look for a Mongoose stamped 1PC?  When did they come into circulation?

I have chrome forks so I don't want to fit an Ashtabula crank....  :-\   "help"
