Reg mongeese had coaster mounts too. Only way to tell from here is the serial number( if it's full cro-mo it'll have a T in the number). That year didn't have the extra holes in the brake bridge. Only the next model had the holes. I think the coaster mounts finished around 78.
Like this one of mine.

LOL it is a rather mind numbing pic of Mozas, isn't it?  :smitten:
My frame is a team without the red coating. I think the Supergoose was Nickel though. Teams are chrome.
