Post by: glenboy on November 24, 2015, 09:25 PM: Love that not many 76ers on these shores with the little gusset on the Bb you only really see these in the USA very nearly bought one a complete from the USA a few years ago , very very nice that mate love it apart from the tyres I hate them orbits or like orbits but that's just me , it looks in really nice og condition

Post by: Noodneek on November 24, 2015, 10:07 PM: Tyres will be swapped at some point, just got to find some nice originals for it, as I don't mind the tyres on other builds, but these motocross are a yes and no on the motomag
Title: Re: 76' Goose
Post by: glenboy on November 24, 2015, 10:56 PM: Yes it's a really nice thing that really nice did you get it complete like that or just frame and forks , yes tyres would just finish it Chang shin c183s or the iirc ones which look similar would look great , the motocross ones would look well if they didn't have the white writing on but it's a minor thing the tyres , got 2 motomag a myself a 79 one and an 80 one
