If it's a Supergoose, it will have 3 holes on the brake bridge

Or look like this ....

lol @ gmac

rich if it has early flat rear drop outs then it will have a T in the cyril - so yours will be a regular goose

if its the later model with stepped and drilled rear drops then it will have the 3 hole bridge

welcome to the goose owners club

Waxintaxin · « **Reply #10 on:** May 23, 2006, 08:18 AM »

Kev , which are the correct ones , the prism or the flat chrome ones ?

Rich

gmac · « **Reply #11 on:** May 23, 2006, 08:32 AM »

Tange forks are available from Alan's, or if you want Astublua's, they come up fairly often on the bay.

kdw712 · « **Reply #12 on:** May 23, 2006, 08:50 AM »

Rich i think the flat ones are correct for your frame

loads of info here about correct placement & orientation etc

i saw a original prisim set of super goose decals on UK ebay went for £107 the other day

buy the goose decals from bill curtin
they are the only ones to get. the knock off prism ones are often very poor quality

get the tange forks too with the pinched dropouts. they will suit it good.

Waxintaxin · « **Reply #14 on:** May 23, 2006, 01:48 PM »

he has motomag decals on the bay , are these the same as 1980 mongoose decals just dont use the motomag one ?

Rich

theRuler · « **Reply #15 on:** May 23, 2006, 01:53 PM »

yep
and on the 1980 the mongoose sticker goes on the toptube

kdw712 · « **Reply #16 on:** May 23, 2006, 02:30 PM »

And also that decal has to have the orange bar/stripe at the end
to face a certain direction too, don't ask me which way though as i can't remb
and have yet to buy any decals for mine (tut tut)

check that VBMX thread its all there some where
exact location of decals on frame etc .....

theRuler · « **Reply #17 on:** May 23, 2006, 02:55 PM »

it goes to opposite to how mine is fitted:

oberonspacefruit · « **Reply #18 on:** May 23, 2006, 03:05 PM »

that setee is very clean

theRuler · « **Reply #19 on:** May 23, 2006, 03:36 PM »

its not you know

just cant seem to get it clean. any ideas?

Waxintaxin · « **Reply #20 on:** May 23, 2006, 03:42 PM »

Kev , how about the goose cats from the early 80s to give me some ideas !

I have got the decals and forks coming ( Yay) the tange ones seemed more UK than the astabulas so went for them

we shall see tonight what the paint hides , and if its going to be a nickel or painted frame lol

theRuler · « **Reply #21 on:** May 23, 2006, 03:44 PM »
