So..........

Going quickly this build as you can tell  :10_2_12:  :LolLolLolLol:

Lockdown has actually been mad busy work wise for me strangely enough but hey ho..... can't complain.

Managed to get a bit of time on the old girl over the last couple of days......

Every build has it's challenges - this build is all about the minigoose brake bridge.

The minigoose has a shorter rear triangle at the top due to the shorter seat mast but they put the brake bridge the same distancae down as the full size frame which gives a very small window for gearing options / wheel & tyre placement.

This is something they rectified in later years (check the pics below comparing the 79 and later 81 brake bridge position for comparison).

Anyway.... clearance is clearance - it's tight but it's ok. The build is finished so finished pics will be coming soon............


1979 minigoose brake bridge......






1981 minigoose brake bridge......

Oh, and here is the brake bridge on my daughter's January 1981 minigoose rider - still low down (my other '81 is July so they must have ran with the brake bridge in the shit position all the way until early/mid 81 and then sorted it out !)
