Most Decoster forks have them the other way round but I think the bike he's replicating had them that way.

How good does that look  :smitten:

although if I was being picky the colour of the older frames he's put up on his original post in the US looks a lot more bronze than gold  :-\

Why's it badged as a Motomag when it's a Team though....... :idiot2:



Well the 77 / 78 early team geese didn't have a team decal on them.

Even the late 79 teams had a "short prism" decal that didn't say "team" wasn't till around early 80-ish that they got the "team" decal  :)

Early supergoose 1 frames had the "short prism" decal too.

Up to now that decal hasn't been reproduced by BMX products though but apparantly it is in the pipeline  :)


1977/78 team with "standard" decals :

1979 team frame with "short prism" decal without "team" wording :
