The first BMX i ever saw in the flesh around 81/82 was a chrome gusset goose with all red parts and motomags :daumenhoch:
I can remember being blown away by it but never got one as parents couldnt afford it.
Fast forward 30 years and i thought i would do a goose in chrome and red to use as a rider.
I envisaged having v bars for that old school look but fitted 2 sets and didnt like the look of them and they were too narrow for riding so picked up these cool looking
ASCO pro bars which look and ride lovely :daumenhoch:

chrome and red always the best goose colour combo imo.love the rat traps too,proper nice bike that,i reckon a set of pro class pads would top it off :smitten:

I really fancy building another Goose after looking at this one. nice work :daumenhoch:

That looks sweet mate top job :daumenhoch:

Great build buddy and some nice touches :daumenhoch:
Wear gloves with those grips though if you going to ride it, sore :D
-
as above very nice mate :daumenhoch:, looks like its just rolled out the bike shop bitd :daumenhoch:
-
Looks very cool, but i do have a soft spot for them and also one sitting in the lounge >:D
how do you find the levers ? - i have DC ones that need to be bent out a bit as the are close to the grip
-
Top build that man :daumenhoch:
-
that is a nice goose :daumenhoch:
-
Very nice fella 8)

Thanks for the comments guys :daumenhoch:
@Bendy,i find the lever ok but you need the brake set up right so there isnt much travel on the lever :daumenhoch:
-
yer i can see there is not much travel :-\ they do look right on there though - i'm like you thinking on different bars for riding as mine are smaller
