Shouldn't it have 3 holes in the brake bridge to be a Supergoose? Mine did.....also the rear tubing doesnt look thick enough.
As well as that arent the supers serial numbers on the piece behind the BB, again mine was.....might be wrong though?  ???

And so the fun begins

UK spec super goose frame was the same as the us all tubes expert (and the odd Cali)
There was a huge thread regarding this issue

The us spec super goose is a much beefier frame
Thicker rear triangle and beefed up top tube
same a pro class

The problems begin when the owner and the history of possible UK spec frame are un clear

If your happy the decals are original then you can only assume it is a UK spec super. There may be other more in depth ways of telling that have come to light since the big thread, but you may need super mongoose expert for that info

have you got a picture of the holes in the bottom of the forks mate ? its not a proper uk supergoose without proclass forks on it . all though the rake on them looks about the same , the rear stays look like they come into the seat tube in the right places . pop it on a set of scales mate it should weigh less than the fat ass us model  ;)
some big old threads on gooses kicking around ,
at worst you got a very nice looking expert  :daumenhoch:
but hay, im only a student in the art of the mongoose ....... a master should be along soon  ;)
