Just cus your not feeling it, you dont have to sell it! lol just try different things, wheels, crank etc stuff like that, to be honest i think it looks nice the way it is but i bet a set of tuff 1's would look good on it if you could source them :smitten:
-
Keep it,it looks lurvly.I'd love one.
-
You've gotta keep it after all that hard work ... looks superb :daumenhoch:

Go and put it away in a spare room, throw a blanket over it...forget it for a few weeks, couple months maybe.... dont look at it....
Then one day uncover it, remember the hard work that went into sourcing all the bits and the fun you had building it...
If you still arent feeling it then, by all means sell it..
But until then DONT. That is a cracking bike, I'm no great fan of early Goose models, but I can appreciate a quality build. Superb.
You'll regret if you sell it based on how you feel right now. :daumenhoch:

Give it a couple of weeks see how you feel,if you aint feeling the love sell it on.
-
whats not to love
thats a right nice build

Mate that looks spot on - just compare it to Steve P's post of the 79/80 catalog pic - you've nearly hit the nail.
As mentioned above put it away for a while then come back to it maybe tweek a few bits and if there's still no love for it then......................
....................await the crowd of PM's heading your way of possible future owners :LolLolLolLol:
As for what it's worth..... F&F looks failry mint, Gold stem, SS bars, lovely 7c's .......
..... 700 quid ish? :-\ Depends who's up for it at the time I suppose ??? Probably best splitting if you want to get bak what you've put in - be a shame though :(
Keep it - It's a classic, you'll only regret it ;)

that would look mental with some motormags on it :D
I can just see it tearing down one of those crazy down hill tracks of the 70's :smitten:

I have to agree with the above. I was recently the same with a finished build and now it is packed away and i have not seen it for 3 weeks.
Cannot wait to uncover her again in a month or so... :daumenhoch:
Don't sell you will regret it.

That is fooking lovely, FFS keep it as you will only regret it :daumenhoch:
Seriously thinking of doing a variation of one of these myself :smitten:

i didnt want to put mags on as this is how it was when i had it,so keep it original
