who sells the proper ones or where can i go ?do mongoose still make retro pads ?
djgivvinup:
which pads are they??
bobafett:
Hey Dix - yep mate they are the wrong pads if they are for that supergoose mate :(
You need the old vinyl fellas with press studs for that frame not the nylon velcro ones - and they are rare and expensive (welcome to goose building ;D)
Good luck mate i've paid more for pads than the frame on some builds :LolLolLolLol:
Here's the fellas (they were available in red,blue,yellow and black and came with 2 different stem pad types - the ones shown are for an ashtabula goose neck stem):
dix:
dam im not gona find no black ones am i :(
cheers for the info ;)
bobafett:
You never know mate - they do turn up from time to time. Another way is building a set one pad at a time - slow but rewarding :D They do turn up as individuals - can't say i've seen too many in black though (I think the bright colours were the most popular back in the day) I've only ever managed to get one black mongoose pad (gooseneck stem) the rest are all colours. But if your just building it as a rider you could stick with those new era pads you won or look for some blank vinyl pads (no goose logos but at least they are era correct) the 1979-80 catalog showed blank pads available to buy so you could go that route - US ebay is your best bet for blank vinyl bmx pads - again it's random when they turn up (but they do) and are usually a lot cheaper than mongoose ones. And then there is always the wanted section on here to post in - you never know.......
By the way if you want to keep your goose build true check out the mongoose catalogs at vintagemongoose.com - http://www.vintagemongoose.com/info/catalogs.php
Good luck :daumenhoch:
