Title: A couple of survivors
Post by: gmac on April 09, 2006, 05:53 PM: The Mity Goose is pretty much original, although they are not the correct wheels on it at the moment. I have the right ones, but the rear needs the coaster rebuilding. Gonna give it a good clean up, but not restore it.

The 1977 Motomag is fairly original too, apart from the tyres. I have another one which I'm gonna mint up, as it's got a few dings on the frame but this one is staying as it is, original decals and all. I have the chain & the other pedal for it, just haven't fitted them.

Need to find grips for both of em as well.

Post by: gmac on April 09, 2006, 06:19 PM: Cheers Kev, I'll look into those. The proper ones do come up on U.S ebay fairly often, and as I don't want NOS, they should be sensible money :)
