Hey dudes need some help with this. Just came today mongoose supergoose but there is a problem. Someone has drilled a hole through the frame see in pics. Also noticed the tubes are alot thicker than my other mongooses see what you think. Could it be a pro class?(http://)(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/g2/jimmyp12/IMG_0127.jpg)
You can see the hole, has this fooked the frame also the number reads k3002471 is this a mongoose number

the hole is for a stand. :)
the supergoose has fatter tubes, yes. fatter rear end!!!
i will check the serial on my super in a bit and post up what that is
niiice bike
-
Yeah some are fatter on the super, nice fame :daumenhoch:
Decals look un damaged for a change, nice find!
-
Yeah, thought it had been from a stand just wondering if it had weakend the frame ;) All the tubes are much fatter though. Had one as a kid and carn't remember all the tubes being fatter because my mate had an expert and the front was just the same?
-
Looks like one the pro class sized tubed supergooses
ie bigger down tube and fatter rear stays but not thin walled like the pro class F&F
US spec i think as UK version didn't have chunky tubes according to the info i gathered
stamped on the box section is a pro class sign so def check the weight of the frame and forks
super light means pukka pro class
nice find !
theres a thread some where about all this - give me 5 mins
-
here it is
http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php'topic=10943.0 (http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php'topic=10943.0)
i brought one of these F&F too - hoping it was a mis badge pro class
but the test from Us mag shows they had chunky tube supers out there at least
and the weight is a dead give away
check the info on that other thread
did i say nice find !! :daumenhoch:
-
you might find this could be a supergoose "eric rupe " which is aka pro class i think
russ :4_17_5:
-
serial is k3 so is 83 bit too early for the rupster sig models
-
you would know mate
god i would love one of them just to dear for a good one though
russ
ps any decent size picky.s i could use as screen saver
-
Yeah, thought it had been from a stand just wondering if it had weakend the frame
the hole shouldn't be an issue, strengthwise, since it's in the middle of the section. :)
-
they are nice bikes
just don't come up all that often though do they :(
-
I've got one just like that - serial numbers in the same place etc....will see if I can find a pic.

What a great community RADBMX is fellas! I had the same treatment with my MRD, and long may it last. Really cool how people go that extra mile for each other, it's a pity it doesn't always translate to everyday life.
Nice one,
Adey.

i have just lined up my 3 goose frames side by side
the 84 expert and 85 cali are identical
the supergoose: has a fatter downtube. fatter rear triangle. lower bottom bracket due to slightly different shaped rear triangle.
they all have the exact same toptubes though. and all frames have the same length
i will charge up my camera batteries and take some pics of them all together, and weigh them all and take measurements for comparison tomorrow
-
pro classes have a 1 1-4" down tube and 1 1-8" on the top tube :daumenhoch:
-
Nice bike you got there mate :daumenhoch:
Heres my super goose frame with the pro class sized tubeing.
