Started out with this a few weeks ago. Wanted a nice rider something I don't mind getting dirty.

Found this on here in the sale section it's a USA spec frame larger tubing? And it's a supergoose 3.
Had a few Spares knocking about so spec is-

Jt bars
Mongoose repro grips
Tech5 lever
Suntour stem
Gt layback
Viscount seat
Suntour seat clamp
odyssey bb
Takagi crank
Shimano pedals
DNA U brake plate
Ad 990 U brake
Alloy hubbed tuff II

Bike rides so well and stop very good with the uprated set up. Maybe not to everyone's liking but it's different.

Thanks for looking.
3 more mongooses to finish now.

I agree

but that's a supergoose 3, no? So that'd make it 1983

Tidy rider that is mate, got an '84 Supergoose 3 myself, lovely to ride.

I love it!

Please let me know if you ever tire of it as I'm not sure I'm ever going to be able to get the stuck seatpost/iron bar out of my US Supergoose.

it dosent matter what you put on a super it allways look good and rides great

e5dcb · « **Reply #12 on:** April 06, 2012, 11:55 AM »

Added some pads to it what you guys recon? Better with or without ?

mileyboy · « **Reply #13 on:** April 06, 2012, 01:34 PM »

Think this is one of the best looking bikes I've seen on here in ages, never been a fan of pads tho $:-\$

Retrodan72 · « **Reply #14 on:** April 06, 2012, 01:48 PM »

I love a Supergoose and like having pads on my bikes, I used pads made by Steve with print to match the decals.

Retrodan72 · « **Reply #15 on:** April 06, 2012, 01:49 PM »

Sorry about the piccy quality.

e5dcb · « **Reply #16 on:** April 06, 2012, 01:56 PM »

That's the Californian pad set tho

Super never came with pads from memory. But they did do the flight pads around this year.

I'm not sure about that mate John is the right person to ask about if they came with pads or not. Mine's an Ammaco UK model, so may have been different spec wise again.

e5dcb · « **Reply #18 on:** April 06, 2012, 02:11 PM »

may have done , I'm just looking at the catalog from 83

and going on that. I do like the style of pad on yours (I have some in blue on my Cali)

Retrodan72 · « **Reply #19 on:** April 06, 2012, 02:17 PM »

Mine is an '84 so could possibly vary even further, who know's?

e5dcb · « **Reply #20 on:** April 06, 2012, 02:23 PM »

All I know is now you posted that pic I'm thinking I choose the wrong pad set

Gary72 · « **Reply #21 on:** April 06, 2012, 07:12 PM »

Nice

Padset doesn't seem to suit as much as retrodans. Maybe try some plain black pads or turn yours inside out to see

e5dcb · « **Reply #22 on:** April 06, 2012, 08:19 PM »

Got some on order like Dans lol should get them next week.
