I could well be selling my f+f soon. Real sweet bike and a great ride. Without  doubt the most underated bmx in my eyes and best value for money.

Ohhhhh nice!  that one's had a bit more thrown at it than mine  :daumenhoch:

i just tried to polish up as much of the bits my mate gave me, as that's what he had on it.  i'm not loving the feel of the WIN bars though, they feel a bit Burner ish to me.....bit to much bend on them. 

The bars he gave me are chrome EZ Bars which are lovely...but is it wrong to bung em on the Goose?  :-\

Defo wrong, you should sell them to me at creation  :daumenhoch:

nice bike by the way rob, you going to be thrashing round MK on it.  :daumenhoch:
Title: Re: My Cali in the sun.....
Post by: pickle on April 24, 2008, 02:51 PM
Dam straight mate!! 

you know your Skyway stuff don't ya?

these bars are exactly the same as EZ MKII's but don't have the knarly bit on the cross bar.

i can't access photobucket at work but can send ya some pictures later........they don't have any stamps on them but look reet good quality.

not sure it they're proper or not  :-\

Rob, you need a seat post with more of a layback on it  :LolLolLolLol:

Looking good though, I've always like looptail Mongoose frames, Lee Shurey had a really nice Pro Class bitd and that rode really nice  :daumenhoch:.

Title: Re: My Cali in the sun.....
Post by: 2020mad on April 24, 2008, 05:44 PM

yeah i thought they deffinately look like EZ but with no knurling  :-\

as for selling them?  well my mate gave me them so i'd rather use em or just keep em mate as it would be wrong to make any money out of the stuff he's given me  :daumenhoch:

and no that doesn't mean i'll give em away either!   :LolLolLolLol:
