Post by: kdw712 on May 09, 2007, 12:11 PM: should - i repeat should have

3 hole bridge well two slots and a central hole
flatten rear seat stay on drive side

though if its a late 82 early 83 the brake bridge may not be the case . . .

its a mark two goose (stepped rear drops) so should have slots and flat stay

mk1 with regular shaped rear drops will have a humungous T in the serial number indicating that its a all chromoly frame
and yes no extra hole in bridge

decals - maybe but seems to be too many varients there

Post by: FuNMoNsTeR on May 09, 2007, 07:12 PM: The serial looks like I170314.
Thanks for the info guys... i was told it was a Supergoose :(
Title: Re: Which Supergoose decals?
Post by: kdw712 on May 09, 2007, 07:25 PM: well it could be
mongoose are a bit mix and match esp at the change over points

but based on what i know at the mo
my best guess would be regular goose

me 1981 supergoose (E112724 - MAY 81) on the left & 1979 regular on the right

Title: Re: Which Supergoose decals?
Post by: Coastvl on May 10, 2007, 10:37 AM: Most of Ginnys stickers are wrong. I have a set and they're far from correct. Bills are spot on. Your frame is a regular goose. The brake bridge holes thing goes for these frames too.
Title: Re: Which Supergoose decals?
Post by: FuNMoNsTeR on May 10, 2007, 11:33 AM: Thanks for all the info guys.... :daumenhoch:
Looks like i will sell it on then as it is not what i thought i was getting....it was traded to me as an early Supergoose. I have Bottema forks being powdered white to go on it for a build >:( Scrap that idea then..... another waste of time and money >:(
Anyone interested in buying it?
Title: Re: Which Supergoose decals?
Post by: FuNMoNsTeR on May 12, 2007, 02:40 AM: Is this frame identical.... ? It certainly looks it :)

Title: Re: Which Supergoose decals?
Post by: Coastvl on May 12, 2007, 08:14 AM: Ask him for a shot of the brake bridge. It does look like a supergoose from the pics. He has cleverly hidden all the id marks in his pics. Theres no "T" on the BB either.
Title: Re: Which Supergoose decals?
Post by: kdw712 on May 12, 2007, 09:31 AM: as Coastvl says get some more pics if you can
same mk2 rear drops so should same id points (flat stay and 3 holes)

best pic to see bridge is top right thumbnail - looks like a single hole there but hard to be sure
