i picked up my mates old Goose Cali frame a year ago which was in a right sorry state as it had been hanging up in his workshop for years.
this was how i picked it up

it got cleaned up as much as i could

it was built back up with all the parts he gave me....but i just wasn't feeling it and it got stripped and left......but after it calling from the back of the garage i sent it off to SBD to break my SBD cherry. still looking for the right bits i want for it but it's coming together

i know they're not the right forks but these work for me :daumenhoch:

That's comming on really well mate , looks like SBD has worked his magic again :daumenhoch:
Doing a couple of Cali's myself at the moment , one chrome and the other a custom colour :D
Looking forward to seeing it finished ;)
-
cheers fella.....yeah well pleased with how the frames come out.....the pictures don't do it justice to be honest.
it'll probably be a good month or two before it's anywhere near complete though :daumenhoch:
-
Looking good Rob :4_17_5:
The parts will come together and when its done will look fantastic, Cali's always do :smitten:
I've had 3 Cali's and loved them all, i really regret getting rid of the 2 i had left about 2 yrs ago though :'(
:coolsmiley:
-
Looking good so far :daumenhoch:
Another great job by SBD. Once the rims and other bits are in place it will look sweeeet :smitten:
Picked up a Cali myself last week and am just in the process of bringing her up to scratch.
Can't wait to see it finished :coolsmiley:
-
Yeah baby :daumenhoch:

Is that the same old school candy red SBD used to great effect on bobbysam's Hoffman Resistance?
Whatever it is it's very nice 8)
-
thanks guys :daumenhoch: i've got Stidds building me a cracking set of wheels but still got a fair few things i need to get fer her.
Monkian, no it's slightly diferent to the one used on the Hoffman.....i think Dan said mine's a bit more cherry than that one, they both look great though :daumenhoch:
-

Similar to how a mate had his bitd, red with chrome forks, also had red Renthal bars, Diamond Back Leary turbo cranks, red ano Araya aero wheels.
