Gusset Goose finally finished......

The first BMX i ever saw in the flesh around 81/82 was a chrome gusset goose with all red parts and motomags
I can remember being blown away by it but never got one as parents couldnt afford it.
Fast forward 30 years and i thought i would do a goose in chrome and red to use as a rider.
I envisaged having v bars for that old school look but fitted 2 sets and didnt like the look of them and they were too narrow for riding so picked up these cool looking
ASCO pro bars which look and ride lovely
Parts list
1982 Mongoose frame and forks
ASCO Pro Bars
CMC Steel Wheels in chrome
Takagi crank
Sugino ring and bolts
Hanabishi spider
Red Rat Traps
Shimano Tourney brake,pre bent lever,shimano cable clips and shimano brake pads
Grippa tyres in red
ACS Stem
ACS Seat clamp
Jaguar Ariake Seat

Great build buddy and some nice touches
Wear gloves with those grips though if you going to ride it, sore

Looks very cool, but i do have a soft spot for them and also one sitting in the lounge
how do you find the levers ? - i have DC ones that need to be bent out a bit as the are close to the grip

Thanks for the comments guys
@Bendy,i find the lever ok but you need the brake set up right so there isnt much travel on the lever

yer i can see there is not much travel
they do look right on there though - i'm like you thinking on different bars for riding as mine are smaller
