stickers are the same although half hanging off and scratched up i thought i could make out made in taiwan :coolsmiley: on the white colour sticker perhaps it dont say that lol ineed some one with a super to compare the frame tubing and measurements
perhaps i should stop being paranoid and just go with what its stickered up as but its rare as hell to have a super in the usa from what ive investigated :police:

my cousin around 1984 bought a supergoose from Dales cycles glasgow. the full bhoona goose so to speak.
except the top tube and bottom tube and rear triangle were a smaller diamater than mine. at the time we just thought they made it lighter/stronger for racing. however on his 1st flat landing on a 4 foot jump the forks just bent forward. so probaly high tensile steel. he used to turn the bars 180 degrees + ram wheel on a wall to straighten em
the tube sizes on my "supposedly" Uk supergoose 3 are....
serial number : G3001418
head tube dia : 37.2 mm / 1.46 " length: 101 mm / 3.97"
top tube dia: 29 mm / 1.14" length: 470mm /18.5" (approx centre of seat tube to centre of head tube)
bottom tube dia : 32mm / 1.25" length: 508mm / 20" (approx. centre head tube to centre BB)
rear triangle dia: 19.2mm / 0.75" length: 354mm / 13.93" ( approx centre of BB to end of looptail tube )
rear triangle height: 210mm / 8.26" from top of BB to centre point of top tube/rear triangle junction
total length of frame: 824mm / 32.44" from front of headtube to rear end of looptail
Ok what is it guys? is it a UK 3 or a pro class, taiwanese job or possible usa? i was told it was a UK 3 .it had no stickers so i just ordered them from Dales
fellow member posted this on the what is a uk supergoose sticky its the exact same dimensions as mine :daumenhoch:
insideoutland:
