No idea Sid - Steven had it for sale with a few other bits I was after for another build - we had a little chat and haggle and came to an agreement - I didn't probe any deeper into how it came to be in such nice condition but without it's original bits to be honest  :-\ Didn't see any of the other stock components for sale by Steven so not sure who it was split by  :-\ Maybe it didn't start as a complete - they were available as frame sets as well back in the day.
it is in very nice condition - a few nicks n scrapes here n there but that makes it look and feel more original if that makes sense  ???

It has the original bike shop decal on the seat tube as well  8)

nice that. looks mint as fook too. good find there. love a candy goose.










got some dura ace cranks and the right 39t ring. got the blue cassette hubs too and the 7c's. I was gonna do my supergoose as a team, but changed my mind.
LMK if you struggle on any parts, might be able to help you out. If i can part with the stuff.
