I bought this 'Pro Class' from a Rad Member a couple of months ago..... I have since had the original owner and restorer contact me thru eBay saying it is a SupergooseIII. When i asked who he sold it to he changed his mind.......said he had restored and sold on a SupergooseIII and a Pro Class and that the frameset i have is a Pro Class..... Have i had the wool pulled over my eyes???
My frame weighs 4Lb 9ozs dry The rear dropouts are 2.5 mm thick. There is no seat tube hole in the BB shell and the BB is not stepped but smooth. Serial number is: H3001849

I had the same frame offerd out to me and eventually declined it m8 cause i thought it was a supergoose 3 :-\. If tom is correct which i think he is then its a super3 :-[

Also the weight thing..mine is the same weight overall as the pro class in the test but my frame weighs in heavier & the forks lighter than the test.
Any opinions? :daumenhoch:

No worries...I have one of my Black Chrome frames hanging up right next to me...ONE hole coming from the downtube...no hole from seat tube. So that theory is false...sorry jimmyp! ;)
Also...the Pro Class is the only frame I have ever seen the b/b cup groove on. Strikey...you can see it on your b/b and also in the picture I posted...another way of confirming a Pro Class. The Super goose is flat all the way through.
Here is the inside shot of a Supergoose b/b...no ridge/groove

Just checked my Pro Class and the bottom bracket is the same with bb cup grove on. Looks like your ok strikey its a pro class :daumenhoch: nice one.
Wonder why some have an extra hole in the bb, i thought it was to save weight :)

so the machined/stepped BB is the big clue then - cool add that to the knowledge bank :daumenhoch:

Usually its to aid heat dissippation & minimise distortion when welding 2 'tubes' together.

There are a couple of things different on your 'Pro Class' frame & forks compared to mine...firstly the fork dropouts on mine have the slit to slide the axle into but then it goes into a circle at the top, where as the forks on yours just have a straight slit.(hope that makes sense?)
Secondly the bb is not stepped like you say, where as mine is..
Also the rear dropouts on mine are 2mm thick on mine & 2.5mm on yours..
It all seems very strange, but i'll leave to to Atari & jimmyp for the conclusion :LolLolLolLol:
I'll get some pics up of mine shortly, cos i built it yesterday & i'll get some pics of that box for ya jimmyp :daumenhoch:
