Early 76 Goose
« on: April 30, 2011, 09:57 PM »
I have this pic embedded in my head from 35 years ago. 




With some help, I have one ready to race.  (well, the bike is)

Early 76 Goose Frame
Ashtabula unstamped fork



Ashtabula Stem
Goose Bars



Original Hunt Wilde Grips
Tange Headset




Schwinn Crank, Chain-wheel and BB
Simi Motomags w/ Bendix 70 brake




Generic seat post and clamp
Parsons Seat



DID Chain
Union Pedals



Repro Decals








Been sitting on this frame and parts for awhile now and finally got off my ass to build it.
