Title: Mini makeover for my Goose - ready for blackpool
Post by: Jaymz on May 21, 2011, 07:11 PM: my retro inspired 1991 goose pro expert has been living in its 'tracksuit' a while its got a few more battle scars and was so dusty due to the track. So since getting a new school the goose has been retired from the track and ive been trying to trade it to no avail so i took the old girl by the cranks and gave her a stripped down makeover

In her tracksuit!!

and now her new stripped down, thrown together look, just waiting on a plastic goose saddle to finish the look,

I like, i know its not to everyones taste, but i like the thrown together, upgraded with odd parts that dont match look, has a lived in purposeful look
