Title: managed to snag this yesterday!
Post by: pickle on November 10, 2011, 10:05 AM
Been after one for ages but they only made a handful and once the run is done they don't make anymore  :(
But after a few emails I managed to snag the prototype one that they had left.  Should be with me next week and then its off to SBD!

Title: Re: managed to snag this yrsterday!
Post by: pickle on November 10, 2011, 10:22 AM
Cheers guys, its a street/park one Dan.  It's a Knight bike co retro goose, modern geometry with integrated headset and AD lugs but with a motomag flavour  :daumenhoch:

Not sure on colour yet though  :-\

Post by: griff on November 10, 2011, 10:29 AM
ahh that explains the sale threads then - wondered what you had lined up next...

looks cool that - as others have said I think it would look brilliant with just a clear coat on, you could always cover it up later if you didn't like it
Title: Re: managed to snag this yrsterday!
Post by: pickle on November 10, 2011, 10:32 AM
Clear is an option and yes, thinking about putting proper old motomag decals on her  :daumenhoch:

Do you know what sort of numbers were made ?

Title: Re: managed to snag this yrsterday!
Post by: pickle on November 10, 2011, 11:26 AM
No I don't know exactly peter but it wasn't many.  They have just finished the GT performer 20" as well but that's more of an old school copy.

Will have to see the finish before thinking of clear coat but it does sound cool  :daumenhoch:

no probs mate

heres a pic on vintage mongoose

http://www.vintagemongoose.com/gallery/index.php

john will be able to give you more details but i pretty sure the original was a candy coat over chrome but i think Dan can replicate it quite well in powder or paint (you would need to check with him) but me and him have talked about it in the past  :daumenhoch:

Red for me but i think it would look the dogs in either red or blue tbh.
I saw these when they 1st came out, really liked them but never ended up seeing one built and was bursting to see one.
Really, really looking forward to seeing how you get on with this if the last one's anything to go by. :coolsmiley: :coolsmiley:

How about clear blue or red powder over raw? Nice compromise between old and new? Something like (not the same colour) as a Fit Eddie v3:

Just looking at the one's on the knight site so far they have been turned out in white, yellow, black and candy blue.
So the candy red, nickel or your suggestion of chrome would all be original bitd colour choices used for the 1st time on a knight retro goose build ?
Wouldn't doing one in red for the 1st time make it original?
Or have i missed a piccy

The team goose did indeed come in candy red or candy blue  8)

The red moosegoose and blue team goose Andy posted up there^^^^^^ are both mine and are both original survivor finishes.

And as Paul asked.........

Where's that pic of the Golden Goose from a year or so back? 8)

Here it is - it belongs to Warren :

Damn, I forgot to give you a kick to the knackers last night Rob for getting hold of one of these mate :LolLolLolLol:

Whatever you do to it mate, it will be awesome. Me, I'd actually go candy blue with blue and chrome new school everything mate - definitely one of those Pork Chop snowflakes, but go the full monty and get a 25T one and chuck a 9T clacker on the back >:D

Can't wait till I can take it for a spin :coolsmiley:

Integrated headset, 990 lugs, bigger rear drop outs etc so old school design with new school improvements?  :daumenhoch:
