Had a Leary and loved it, but I also like bikes that were raced by pro's. Even a nice looking "replica" gets my attention regardless of make. I'm not a huge post 80 Goose fan but would like to see this built up to its former glory when it was raced in anger.

i'd keep the Goose as it has history

build it up & get Del to knock you up some custom 'Bender' decals for it

You should do whatever your heart and head yearns for, to me it's sounding like the Leary is tugging those heart strings....

ORANGEZIPPY · « **Reply #29 on:** November 19, 2011, 09:07 PM »

thanks for everyones comments, (think the bender decal idea is good )

i'll try and find a mongoose or pro class fan who wants to pay fair money for it,

and then look to get a leary in the new year, once all my ebay stuff has sold.

Didn't they do the Leary Turbo in two colours on the later small gusset version? That other colours got to be the one to go for

The MK2 HLT's in grey paint ( Primer like) finish ,,the one that Leary used to ride was Factory rider issue only I think Bob $:-\$

Also the ones that were smoked but had gold decals as opposed to chrome were Factory team only too

Were there any other colours ?

Here you go.

Large gussett (1982 to 1983) - Turbo Smoke
Small gussett (1983 to 1985) - Turbo Smoke
Small gussett non looptail (1986) - Grey and no longer Koizumi fabricated.

i was going to do a grey leary factory copy, but instead doing it on a mk1 rather than 2nd gen small gusset.

i seem to remember the German guy called Max or something that was into DB's a few years ago did one, as it looked great

i wont bother with re smoking it, straight off to get it coloured Grey, more than likely powder rather than paint, so a visit to SBD.

dct · « **Reply #40 on:** November 20, 2011, 10:33 PM »

Wasn't it max farren a few years ago had a grey one ?
Smoked chrome all the way for me .

Max used to hang around riding with us when were kids .

When I got back into the scene 6 years ago he had all but packed it in

Not sure if the grey one he had would've been Bof's old one from BITD

Sparky that Non Koisumi one is babba $:-\$

Here's the two factory team colours I mentioned

sparky · « **Reply #44 on:** November 20, 2011, 11:12 PM »

Yes, Max Farren (uboatpirat) on Ebay used to have one, last time I spoke to him was a couple of years ago, he sold everything apart from his Kuwi that he said he would never part with. He was into Military memorabilia if I recall and continued to concentrate on that.

When we were kids he had an E.T the replica spec ( steel wheels and win stem )

wonder if it was the same bike

Nice shots those, though Grey was not a factory team colour

The only real thing that identified a team rider for DB were the gold decals.

I can't say the Grey inspires me, but neither do I dislike it.

I'll see if I can dig out the pictures of the one Max had.

Yeah good guy Max, we got two sets of grey/black oakley f1's sent over from the US..
I popped over to Blackpool to collect them think they were £86 a pair... ohh thats around 8years ago

Time doesnt half fly
He had a load of great OS bmx stuff.. like a biagio of the early noughties.. sold a job lot to san marco if i remember.
