Title: goose has landed but what is it ?
Post by: eloopnai on February 16, 2019, 11:38 AM

Right chaps need a little help
This old goose landed on my doorstep and I had reason to believe it was a motormag 2 due to it being an 81 with later dropouts and black background stickers
But it has a faded gold  Cali special sticker on it  as all stickers are faded I believe them to be original
So I’m hoping someone can spread some light on why the gold Cali sticker ? Is it a Cali special ?  Or a motormag 2 ?
Been out the loop a few years now so my memory isn’t what it used to be trying to remember all the goose stuff

Cheers.   Ian  :)

They’re both the same frames. Cali special was a complete that came in chrome so probably started out life as one of them Have a look on vintage Mongoose, loads of info on there.
