Title: 1984 mitygoose (survivor)
Post by: bobafett on April 29, 2010, 10:29 PM: Picked this up recently after a nice tip-off from Joff ;)

Not too many of these knocking round 8)

Haven't done anything to it really except for a quick clean and popped one of my padsets on it to tart it up for the piccies :)

So prety much 99% all original - it's in nice condition - it's even got the original tyres and brake blocks ! ;D

I'll probably do a full resto on this at some point - maybe change the colour scheme and get some 16" tuffs - but for now my daughter is enjoying taking it for a spin since she says her pink minigoose is still a tad too big for her at the moment ::)

Pics are sh!te cos it was raining :crazy2:

Here ya go...........

That is something else mate, but I'd have it off to Neil for a Pro-Class finish paint job and Del's for some "Diddi-Class" decals before you knew it :2funny: >:D

Nice. Love it :daumenhoch:

Yeah it's a cool little thing. I like these and the first nickel ones because they where "true" mini versions of the full size frames - this is technically a mini cali - look at the geometry / welds/ dropouts / looptail / forks etc. 8) And the early mity was like a mini-minigoose same style dropouts etc. and same cool welds and mini ashtabulas ! :coolsmiley: But around 80-82 they did a weird mitygoose - it was kind of it's own design with leading axle forks think it was made by a 3rd party - not so cool :buck2:

But this lil' fella is a keeper - and in good shape too :)
