Title: 79 Goose build thread - update 21.07.14
Post by: Jaan on March 21, 2014, 10:17 AM
About 3 years ago now I landed a 79 Goose from Spen. It was his copper coloured Goose if folk recall, first built with black and then yellow parts...

I originally bought it because i liked the colour however I tinkered with it but then put it away...

(http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/r604/J44NCG/Gooselarge_zpsb9461d27.jpg) (http://s1174.photobucket.com/user/J44NCG/media/Gooselarge_zpsb9461d27.jpg.html)

After archiving it for a few years I realised it had stayed there because of the colour, so I had it stripped and painted black...

(http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/r604/J44NCG/IMG_2765_zpsad08693b.jpg) (http://s1174.photobucket.com/user/J44NCG/media/IMG_2765_zpsad08693b.jpg.html)

...but still didn't like it.

The penny finally dropped that it needed to be in a 79 colour.  Off it went to Dan to be refinished in candy blue. I was confident that the colour would be spot on as I had followed Sean's DeCoster thread (which i think was before I became a member on here...  ???)

Here's the frame set at Dan's  :smitten:

Although the colour is now "factory", i'm going for a street / race build but still using parts primarily from the 79 Catalogue, including

A Mongoose Gold Stem and SS bars, both OG

It looks different in the flesh, its a metallic or highly reflective finish so will be affected by the colour temperature of the lights illuminating it.

Haven't decided yet on the crank, I have a set of Goose pedals which are 1/2" so I could fit a OPC, snowflake and Goose BB...

If I go 3PC the pedals won't be used but I do have a lovely NOS chrome set of KKT Lightnings...
Title: Re: 79 Team Goose build thread
Post by: Jaan on March 21, 2014, 06:29 PM
So my current big question is where shall I place the "team mongoose" decal?

I have a OG pad set but my gut is telling me on the top tube irregardless....
Title: Re: 79 Team Goose build thread
Post by: snoopy72 on March 21, 2014, 06:35 PM
down tube same as supergoose, after all it is also a supergoose frame, i would only fit to the top tube for a motomag
Title: Re: 79 Team Goose build thread
Post by: Jaan on March 21, 2014, 06:40 PM
Yes, I would prefer to put it there but all of the 79 Geese have their decals on the top tube - well in their catalogues anyway...

It wasn't until 1980 that they placed them on the down tube in any of their promotional materials....

I'm trying to find an OG picture with the decal on the down tube and i'll be good to go...
Title: Re: 79 Team Goose build thread
Post by: HUTCHMAN on March 21, 2014, 07:11 PM
from what I've seen.. the 79-80 catalogues show the supergoose/team as having the decal on the top tube, where as the 81 shows them on the down tube.

Post by: snoopy72 on March 21, 2014, 07:36 PM
Never noticed that before, supergoose definitely goes on the downtube, being a 79 i would agree and go top tube for a team, but don't fit the pads, show off the decal and that lovely double clamp stem.

Post by: kungfunky on March 21, 2014, 07:43 PM
Stu Thomsen had the Team Goose decal on his SE/Goose Long on the down tube. Pretty sure PK also had it there too.

Post by: Jaan on March 21, 2014, 08:22 PM
Yes, they were all on the top tube in 79 and then all on the down tube from 1980 but thats factory, i'm not building this to factory spec...

I want to utilise the pads as they're like new, cleanest set of OG pads I've seen in a long time (thanks Lee  :daumenhoch:)

 :smitten:  Love a Candy Blue Team goose , that will be awesome Chris  8)

Jonygoose and myself both looked into trying to find out the exact colour , there's no definitive colour code. The original teams were all a Candy Blue laquer sprayed directly onto a chrome/Nickel frame . The finish looked great but wasn't very durable , it just used to peel off in time  ::) .

Your colour doesn't look too far off Chris ..... this is John's team ,full survivor frame/ forks and decals ..

So how bloody stupid am I?

Spen rightly pointed out that this was sold to me as a standard Mongoose and not a 100% chromoly Team model.

I can only assume that I've played Chinese whispers with myself whilst it was stored to the point where I didn't even think to look at the rear stays!!!

So I've come this far, what to do, what to do...

Title: Re: 79 Goose build thread
Post by: snoopy72 on March 22, 2014, 11:53 AM
They look like 81 motomag 1" forks as well Chris, early 79 motomag's had black astabula forks and later 79 had Tange pinch forks up to Feb 81.
Your forks look to be motomag March 81 onwards.
Still build it, what month 79 is it ? Is it a CE9 ?
It would look great in that candy blue with black ashtabula forks
Title: Re: 79 Goose build thread
Post by: Jaan on March 22, 2014, 04:30 PM
It's August 79 - CH9.

I'm fairly certain that the forks are Competition forks which were fitted to Team models, perhaps it was that which planted the seed in my mind? They're certainly not the nickel plated hi-tensile steel tubular fork that came on the 79 Mongoose... Anyway the good news is that I'm not utilising the Mongoose forks for this build so what they are is moot...
Title: Re: 79 Goose build thread
Post by: snoopy72 on March 22, 2014, 04:55 PM
August 79 motomag had tange pitch forks , if they are team competition forks they will be 7/8 leg diameter the same as supergoose, team and non drilled Roger decoster the way they curve at the top's not that sharper bend and they look the same diameter as the steer tube.
Measure the fork leg to see if it's 25.4mm
Look nice with some Bottema forks on it
Title: Re: 79 Goose build thread
Post by: Jaan on March 22, 2014, 05:05 PM
I'll measure in a bit John, how do you calculate the diameter? Is it the circumference divided by Pi? It's been a while...  :)
Title: Re: 79 Goose build thread
Post by: snoopy72 on March 22, 2014, 05:11 PM
With a digital vernier is easiest, you must have a hinged or 2 piece seat post clamp ?, put a piece of masking tape around the fork and just fit it around the fork leg , if it nice and snug they are 1" if it is very sloppy they are 7/8 :daumenhoch:
You won't even have to clamp it up to see if it fits nice or not, don't damage the new paint :coolsmiley:
These are  May 81 motomag 1" forks

Team forks have a larger boss where the caliper bolts on if drilled ... that's normally the quickest way to tell the difference :daumenhoch:

Post by: Jaan on March 22, 2014, 05:51 PM
John and Steve, thanks for the information. I appreciate it.  :)

I must confess to being out of my depth with Mongoose.

The forks are without the larger boss and look identical to John's 81 Motomag 1" forks. I think that's cleared it up.

Post by: snoopy72 on March 22, 2014, 06:03 PM
Team forks have a larger boss where the caliper bolts on if drilled ... that's normally the quickest way to tell the difference :daumenhoch:
Also on the motomag 1" forks it has a welded washer on top of the boss for the crown race, the competition forks don't have a welded washer for the crown race , because the team / supergoose fork boss is larger as stated by Steve, it is just machined away to fit the crown race down on top of it.
I just re looked at your forks and they are definitely 1" forks 81-82 for motomag, they could even be later 83-85 california or proclass forks but that's not my era so not 100% on that.

When Spen comes online we'll get a definitive answer. As I said at the top of the thread we dealt a while back, before the "Great Crash of 2013" so any PM history was lost into the ether...

Post by: Spen69 on March 22, 2014, 09:03 PM
Evening all

It came as that with the forks but they aren't Team forks and god knows with any Goose if they're original from the frame.

Over the water they built the frames from whatever was lying around at the time so it could be anything under the paint!
Title: Re: 79 Goose build thread
Post by: Jaan on March 24, 2014, 03:38 PM
So this build is more custom than catalogue especially as its not even the frame that I thought it was!!  :crazy2: :LolLolLolLol:

Shall I run 3PC or 1PC crank? John (snoopy72) has offered me his Super Maxy which are lovely, or do I look for a Dura Ace?

If I go for 1PC I have NOS Takagi and Sugino or do I look for a Mongoose stamped 1PC?  When did they come into circulation?

I have chrome forks so I don't want to fit an Ashtabula crank....  :-\   "help"

Chris I was smashed on saturday night and don't recall even sending that post :2funny:

Needless to say, I meant that those were the forks it arrived with and I had no reason to suspect they weren't the original forks with the frame. The date on Monggose BB shells is for amusement only once production got into full swing - they just used the next piece of tube on the production line apparently - there were boxes of BB shells already stamped. The date is a plus/minus 6 moths guide to manufacture date only....... bloomin BMX Products :-\

The only thing I can assure you is that it is definitely a standard Mongoose frame and was once a lush copper colour :2funny: I wouldn't have sold it if it would have been a full cromo frame as I loved the colour........ :shocked:

I'd never have guessed that you were smashed  ;)

Forks,,, i'm still not 100% as they're exactly the same as those that John described as "May 81 Motomag 1" forks" but if thats correct then the forks in the 81 catalogue are wrong as they still appear to be the same pinched fork used on the 79/80 standard Mongoose.

(http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/r604/J44NCG/79%20Team%20Goose/ScreenShot2014-03-24at165131_zps5e815895.png) (http://s1174.photobucket.com/user/J44NCG/media/79%20Team%20Goose/ScreenShot2014-03-24at165131_zps5e815895.png.html)

The fact that its not 100% chromoly doesn't bother me in the slightest, i'm running a Suntour Skyway steel coaster hub rear so thats virtually doubled the weight anyway  ;D

Plus if they're good enough for BMX Products to label Competition Racing Frame then they're certainly good enough for slow coach me  ;D

The catalogue is correct  :daumenhoch: pinch forks were used from around Oct 79 , 80, 1981 Jan , Feb  and March, March was the change over month for the forks,  could have had either forks, then in April the pinch forks were gone.
In April/May/ they also mixed the rear dropouts, the serial numbers were changed without the letter C for Chatsworth and the rectangle next to the bb was hollow.
If you read the small print at the bottom of the 81 catalogue it states that since the printing of the catalogue some items may have changed.
(quite a lot actually) :LolLolLolLol:
By the end of May  , solid rectangle, solid plate rear drop outs were gone, but they still continued to make the frames with gusset's until 1982

I've actually done quite a lot Steve

Phil kindly polished my SS bars and Maurice stamped seat post.  I landed a mint yellow Goose seat from Jono and I got my gold stem refinished  :smitten:

I sent it to Premier Plating who are on the other side of town in Walthamstow. http://www.premierplatingworks.co.uk/index.php#focusPoint

They stripped the brass, refinished and polished it to an incredibly high standard.

The only downside is the price £75+VAT as they have a minimum charge. I got lucky and got it done for free but only because they sent me the wrong part and needed it back urgently which I sorted whilst overseas (it was complicated). Besides all that they received the stem on a Monday and it was back Friday.
