Round hole is goosey and oval is decoster
gooses were both full cromo and front triangle

thanks fellas.

usually only go for my era bikes,but really like the look of these old geese.

not sure if i can afford it,already over spent taking advantage of the weak dollar on US ebay,so many "bargains" this time of year.

we shall see though.

thanks again. :daumenhoch:
