My Supergoose is a May 81 too. No "T" and flattened seat stay. Has the 3 holes in the brake bridge too.
Nice score either way.
Oh and anyone looking for Tuff 1"s try aussie ebay. We always have them.

Looks like the standard model goose, here's a pic of how you could get it back to stock

The ammaco made frames such as the "mongoose wire wheel" were a bit different to this one - different welds, slightly different dropouts etc. Oh and different forks too.

Not sure on the silver star but it deffo had different forks

the build so far

ive used as many standard parts as poss,dans done an amaizing job removeing the chrome them adding the candy blue. the mongoose crank is away getting chromed and ive a set of dia-compe 1020's on way with some pre bent levers. the only part im having trouble finding is the wierd freewheel for the rear steel hubbed tuff

tuffs will have to be dyed next while i try a source a freewheel from the states

sprocket was way to small in the centre hole emailed colourtuffs about it but no reply, ginny rinnis has some that may fit.

lovely scott, when it's done i'd love some outdoor pics for the SBD gallery

HUTCHMAN · « **Reply #61 on:** February 10, 2010, 09:43 PM »

Scott,let me have a look tomorrow,i think i may have a sprocket and cir clip for one of those hubs.If i do forget,give us a dig in the ribs and remind me.

Dave.

Oooh sex. Loving that blue tuff / knobby combo. Got that 80 - 81 look going on. How many notches are on the inner ring of the freewheel cog? It's a long shot but may have something. Looks about 8 from here. I'll go digging but don't get your hopes up.

* I had a coaster hub from that era, found the cog, had 3 notches, won't fit , sorry!

monkian · « **Reply #63 on:** February 10, 2010, 09:48 PM »

Looking good man. Be good to see that blue in the sunshine

winnit93 · « **Reply #64 on:** February 10, 2010, 09:53 PM »

ill was hoping to get some outdoor pics sometime this week if i can get home before dark.
mark and dave you boys get searching,these bikes dont run well with no chains

bobafett · « **Reply #65 on:** February 10, 2010, 10:22 PM »

Liking that - looks mint

Very nice SBD finish - love the colour

Superb that Scott

But put the top tube decal on the right way

jimmyp · « **Reply #67 on:** February 10, 2010, 10:44 PM »

Looks good m8, nice one and welcome to the Goose Club

Steve P · « **Reply #68 on:** February 10, 2010, 10:52 PM »

I'm liking that Scott ... it's oozing all the old school flavours and brings back loads of memories of my very 1st BMX. Nice one

jT Racing · « **Reply #69 on:** February 11, 2010, 12:01 AM »

it's not far off that blue scott. looks mint mate. measure the hub and i'll see if i have a sprocket for you. With some rat traps and alloy bars it would pass as a team goose in that colour.
looking better than i thought it would anyhow.

HUTCHMAN · « **Reply #70 on:** February 11, 2010, 10:02 AM »

Scott,found the sprocket and cir clip,16t,mounts into every other notch(4 notches,not

came directly from an old steel hubbed coaster. internal dia of the notches about 37mm.any good?
