Supergoose value?

<< < (8/13) > >>

beaglepopper:
Yeah strange that because yours is a May 81 isnt it? might have been on the changeover????  Is it stamped on the BB?

bobafett:
Yeah you can't beat a good goose  :daumenhoch:
They're the only bikes I build  :smitten:

I wouldn't buy tange tx forks for that super though dix - hold out for some chrome team forks they'll suit your frame right down to the ground. They do come up fairly often - probably cheaper in the US but then you've got the shipping cost lottery so it's hard to tell. Seen ones that need replating go for around 30 quid but for nice ones your probably looking at 50 maybe more - depends who's bidding. You could always go with the tange pinched forks off the standard mongoose from the late 70's early eighties - they did come in chrome as well as nickel and not as sought after as the team ones so you could pick them up cheaper. Good luck...............

bobafett:
You need a mongoose BB dix - 28tpi  ;)

kdw712:
it'll be a standard US bottom bracket

as for the year
yours is a mark one goose from the rear drops and i think i can see the flatten seat stay on the drive side
which means 76 - 81 ish so should have  T stamp serial
but may have a mk2 type serial like E10003

from what you've said its 80 / 81 so right on that change point to the mk2

at the design changes points mongoose seemed to blend the designs
i guess cos they brought material in bulk ready to fabricated
so theres all sorts of odd querks  

dix:
yeh cheers lads   :)

yep bobafet i will get some proper forks 8)
