Hey chaps, new pics added to the goose as it stands. I need opinions. I have a 1080 brake set up. But my Tuffs are coasters, I think I prefer the cleanness of a coaster brake on a goose. If anyone could help me locate a coaster tab and sprocket (in this country) I'd really appreciate it  :daumenhoch:

Didn't realise the f&f were yours originally JP  :D

Yeah, I was thinking about doing something similar with the tab - I'd like an original set up if I can find one though. Dont suppose you still have that plate?  ???
