Looks like a Cali to me too.

All the components are those from a Cali, so it is still very original. Steep price though.  :buck2:

judging from how the seat stays meet the seat tube its a Cali or a UK supergoose

notice they sit high in relation to the downtube
US super and pro's tend to be more in line

does that make sense ?
see if i can find some pics

Yeah makes sense,i just got a reply from him it has one hole in the brake bridge,so at best it's a uk super3. On a Pro class are the holes on the rear brake bridge ovall where the us super3 where round? :daumenhoch:

Post by: kdw712 on January 31, 2007, 04:24 PM
single hole
then yeah curernt thinking has that as a Cali or US expert / UK supergoose

pro class holes i thought were round - the previous supergoose had central hole and two slots
best ask some like atariager on the pro class as he has a spanking collection of F&F and parts

Stidds on here has a 82 pro class and thats a single hole - but its a early model
first ones hit the uk xmas 82 ruffs maloney and middleton brought one each back from the states - nice huh

1983 on the left and 1982 on the right...seems they can have either or...my chrome 1983 also has round holes and my other 1982 Black Chrome has round?  Who knows...the tubing does not lie however.

Keep me up to date with those decals boys!  If I can help in any way...let me know!

Cheers...

cool info
another step along the "whats my goose" path sorted  :daumenhoch:


do you think the slotted ones were left in the parts bin from the last gussetted goose ?

though the slots do look bigger

compare and contrast

81 super on the Left - trimoly 79 on the right
