Nice one Wolfy. Is that the first year they bought out the Proclass? Odd to see it running alongside the II frames not the Cali era ones.

Good stuff.

Classic.

I had a Supergoose just like that (but with blue bits not red) until some slags nicked it from my granny's shed.

Only time I ever saw a Moosegoose was on a visit to Alpine Action.  They had a massive head tube didn't they?

I had a Pro Class that I snapped. Only had it about 4 months, so went back to Hot Wheels and asked for warrenty and got a JMC in replecement.

Was it just me or did anyone else think Pter Middleton used to look like Rat Scabies the drummer in the Damned? I used to always think it in the early 80's and seeing that "be cool" picture just reminded me.....

Who remembers Mongoose - The Movie (or maybe it was called The Mongoose Movie)?

It was a promo VHS tape that Ammaco supplied to Mongoose dealers to promote the bikes.  I used to help out at weekends at a shop called AB Wheels in Sheffield and the first time I saw that vid it blew me away and was probably the main reason I saved up and bought a Supergoose to replace my Moto One.

Well you can say that I have and still do own a few. Since 2005 I have had 16 of them and currently have 7 and 2 framesets and 1 frame in the storage.
