i picked up my mates old Goose Cali frame a year ago which was in a right sorry state as it had been hanging up in his workshop for years.

this was how i picked it up

it got cleaned up as much as i could

it was built back up with all the parts he gave me....but i just wasn't feeling it and it got stripped and left......but after it calling from the back of the garage i sent it off to SBD to break my SBD cherry. still looking for the right bits i want for it but it's coming together

i know they're not the right forks but these work for me

That's comming on really well mate , looks like SBD has worked his magic again

Doing a couple of Cali's myself at the moment , one chrome and the other a custom colour

Looking forward to seeing it finished

cheers fella.....yeah well pleased with how the frames come out.....the pictures don't do it justice to be honest.

it'll probably be a good month or two before it's anywhere near complete though

Looking good Rob

The parts will come together and when its done will look fantastic, Cali's always do

I've had 3 Cali's and loved them all, i really regret getting rid of the 2 i had left about 2 yrs ago though

Looking good so far

Another great job by SBD. Once the rims and other bits are in place it will look sweeeet

Picked up a Cali myself last week and am just in the process of bringing her up to scratch.

Can't wait to see it finished

Is that the same old school candy red SBD used to great effect on bobbysam's Hoffman Resistance?
Whatever it is it's very nice

pickle · « **Reply #7 on:** January 30, 2010, 07:37 PM »

thanks guys

i've got Stidds building me a cracking set of wheels but still got a fair few things i need to get fer her.

Monkian, no it's slightly diferent to the one used on the Hoffman.....i think Dan said mine's a bit more cherry than that one, they both look great though
