1982 Supergoose 2 (rider) - [FINISHED - REBUILD]

[bobafett]

So I wasn't 100% happy with my supergoose rider both aesthetically and more importantly how it rode 

The 170mm cranks that it had were fairly era correct but were too short for riding - the wheels I had put on my daughters minigoose rider - the SX pedals hurt my feet - I wanted the renthal post for another build - and the tuff pad copies didn't stop me very well !

So it sat there in bits over the winter longing for a rebuild - so here we are.........

Changed: Pedals, Crank, Spider, Seatpost, Wheels, Tyres, Brake pads, Brake cable, Padset and added some fork decals.

Great build for a rider John    but as Dean said i was expecting more from the action shots , in fact i was getting a bit worried after the incident with Shaun at Coppull    

Love all the changes and those wheels are just the icing on the cake  

You never know it might be faster around MK this year with all those tweeks  




PS do you want to sell those 'Team' forks

Lovely is that John 
Them out and about shots  , looks like the bike may have been carried or transported instead of ridden as them tyres are still spotless   

 

[bobafett]

Nice one lads 

Rides great - defintely feel the difference with the 180's - brake pads need a bit of bedding in though.

Dean - as for doing 180's mate - the only 180 this bike will do with my hands on it is if I turn it round for a picture of the other side 

And Paul........... I was too scared to get the tyres mucky on her first outing 

I'll hit the fields next time and get her proper duuuuurrrrrtty 



Working on a build I've wanted to do for a while this month
