John - I slung it together this morning with a few spare bits for effect, but I think you'll get the picture. I'll post on here when it's finished (got a bit of polishing to do and swap the bars, hence no grips), but massive thanks to Del (as always!) and Neil for sorting the paint out, but here's my daughter's MiniClass to go with her dad's full size ProClass :smitten: :smitten:

Hope you like it - I can assure you, it looks better in real life mate. Oh, you might recognise the padset :angel:

This is the original thread that started the debate and the one you need to find out all the facts.

http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php'topic=17064.0

As far as i know the uk supergoose was built in late 1984 and is reviewed in BMX ACTION BIKE DEC 84 ISSUE. Upto this point  the uk was just the usa goose shiped over from the states. But in 1984 Mongoose USA stopped making the supergoose so ammaco/mongoose uk did there own version, uk supergoose 3. It was better spec than the USA version with MX 1000 Brakes. renthal bars and so on. The UK bike also had better geormatry than the older USA supergoose with higher BB for better track clearence and was also lighter than the USA supergoose because it has smaller tubing.

If you follow the thread you should be able to find this out, its a classic by the way and i think we should make it a sticky as it a subject that comes up time and time again  :daumenhoch:
