got an 80, 81 and 82 old gussetted goose

That's not old.
I have a '76, '77(2), '78, '79, '80 (2), '81(2)
Quality was there from the very beginning, and quality did not start dropping off until late 81. Gee, I don't see any 82 and up models in my inventory for some reason.
ORB:
But its not about Quality, its about what you want and like, and if an 83 Cali is what you love, thats what you will buy and restore.

I am by no way an expert in this field, but I can see those frames and forks in that ad are not the same

I think the earliest proclass came out in '82.
They are pictued in a 1983 mongoose catalogue, and one thing I've discovered about the mongoose catalogues is that if they say 1979 on the front, then the bikes and parts displayed are 1978. Since Pro-class appeared in the "83" catalogue, then they were around in 82. Hence the fact that you see gussetted geese in the "83" catalogue.
