pro class help *updated*again* now with pics
kdw712:
there was a big thread a while back
UK Vs US supergoose
i brought a chunky tube goose back in 05
believing it to be a pro class that was mis-badged as a super
once it arrived i did tons of research into to it and found out the US spec super was identical (externally) to the pro class
and at that time the only way to tell the difference was the weights
UK spec super is a all tubes chromoly cali / expert frame which didn't have the thicker tubing on the rear stays or down tube
get on some scales and check the results against the spec sheet up there ^^^^^^^^
fingers crossed for you :daumenhoch:

Let me see some pictures of the rear dropouts...if you can squeeze them inwards significantly with just two fingers it is a Pro Class. The Pro Class has paper thin rear drops.
From what I can see so far...I'd say it is a Pro Class. One of mine below...

Thanks again for all the replies, much appreciated :daumenhoch:
heres some pics of the dropouts for ya Atari :daumenhoch:
I can squeeze the rear dropouts in with 2 fingers no problem..but looking at yours the dropouts do look a bit thinner :-\
I'm off to weigh it very shortly, i'll let you know the outcome.
djgivvinup:
just had the frame weighed on some digital scales..with no bb or headset just bare frame then forks
frame weighs 1.8566666 kg
forks weigh 0.7633333kg
roughly converted to pounds i think is: frame 4lb 1oz, forks are 1lb 6oz
Pro class weights in the test say frame is 3lb 13oz & forks are 1lb 10oz. :idiot2:
kdw712:
would seem from the weights its a PC
your 4oz's over on the frame
some which could be the cups and headset
sure my super frame was around 5lb mark or more
