Well just opened another parcel and very nearly did both variations of wee

...sex been the most

These are what i have been searching for over the last 4 months and like i always say all good things come to those who wait

I know these motos may not be everybodys cup of tea but holding a set after over 30 years is a amazing experience.

Call me Gay..but i nearly shed a tear

Really enjoying this revisited hobby and fooking love these

to me they are the visual perfection of old school bmx

and to think back in 1983 i nearly swapped a pair of cheap blue spencer rimmed wheels(halfords) for me to want to cut the x webs out of them coz i thought they would look like skyways

thank god the nipper backed out of the swap as if i had i would have never forgiven myself for such a barbaric act on such georgeous wheels

V.Nice

I can remember lusting after them as a kid

Nice blue max buddy

Well this is what these bad boys are going on and its a beauty

....Im in the middle of a few early goose builds but this one is costing me a packet.
Im basicly replicating my very first bike from back in the day...Having said that mine had a set of steel spokes with a rear coaster

....still potato picking and a paper round wouldnt let me stretch to the moto's

so im building how it should have looked

kungfunky · « **Reply #14 on:** September 28, 2011, 08:25 AM »

the coolest looking wheel ever imo and that bike's going to look superb

i have a goose in the lounge that would look so sweet with them on

so what did they cost then ?

what is the weight of them /compared to a set of skyways ?

cheers B

Hey looks a treat on a chrome goose too...think i will have to try them on mine

Is that a super 2 or mong 2 as some of the decals have prism's ?

It's an 81 team mongoose, in nickel not chrome so slightly darker. Original finish, top condition, was real treat getting this one. Came together in a record time of about 3 weeks.

Rim profile & manufacturing location wording stamped in them , amongst maybe other things I can't remember right now ( did research about 3-4 years ago when I got some but have forgotten loads since ) . I'm sure Mr Boba can advise us of
