Mongoose / Supergoose differences?

(1/2) > >>

Nosnod:
Right guys I have a late 81 gussetted goose (serial no starting K1).
How do you tell the difference between a normal Mongoose (& Motomag) frame and a Team or Supergoose
I know that the supergoose are all cro-mo and the Mongoose are only 3 main tubes cro-mo but do they have different rear dropouts or brake bridges etc.?
Will try and get some pics later

Steve P:
Could be wrong but didn't the high end models have a slotted rear brake bridge or something

Cheers

supergooses have three hole in brake bridge, one either side of brake hole :)

scary_leary:
I might be talking complete crap..but i think the chain stays on a super
are different, they have indentations were the tyre goes through.

the tubing is different on all cro mo.

theRuler:
on the old gooses you can tell if it's a super by

3 holes in the brake bridge
flattened seatstay and chainstays on the drive side near the drops
