No please don't - it's lovely :4_17_5: . It was the pic you posted over on stw that got prompted me to pop back over here for a quick look . . . I now have a massive visa bill and a wishlist as long as your arm :daumenhoch: Now, where are my parcels . . . nearest thing I have to a 20" ride at the mo are a pile of old steel straight posts, spare guts and a box full of cheap brake calipers :-\

Post by: lodge on January 02, 2012, 06:36 PM: Looks amazing , is the geometry different to an o/s goose?
I always look at the old gooses and think how rideable and similar to n/s bikes they look , especially in comparison to 80's and 90's freestyle bikes.

What rims are they :daumenhoch:

there nowt special to be honest, the rear is a prolite cassette with ti driver and axle laced to a Sun black box rim (low end cheapness) and the front is a prolite sealed hub laced to a Sun Big city lite rim. bought some time ago from Cyclesport (Now BMX City) :daumenhoch:
Title: Re: took me Goose out for it's first ride in the sun
Post by: theRuler on January 10, 2012, 09:42 AM: I have been running sun black box rims for about 10 years. They are good rims.

No point spending an arm and a leg.
