They stopped using tange pinched forks mid 81 onwards - that has early dropouts so could be right on the changeover point if the forks are original to the frame  ;)

What's the serial No. Sam ?

Looking good mate - get it outside for some daylight pics  :coolsmiley:

What are those tyres on the Goose and did you have to import them?  Look like those old school Kenda knobblies.  :-\

i nearly did put them yellow tuffs on, but thought it would look too yellow for an early build.  I also nearly put on some mint steely hubbed red skyways as well, but didnt... ;D
