Well I bought this a few years ago.. fell out of love with it some how (crazy I know)

sold it then a year later wanted it back ready for a full resto.

There were a few dents and the seat tube was split but finding out Phil (Sawzall) was only half hour up the road from me I popped up to his to see if he was willing to take on the challenge..

Phil agreed to take a closer look at it, get stripped of the chrome/nickel pre repairing for me and then even packed up and posted to SBD.

Here are some pre pictures when I bought the 2nd time round.

And after Phil had repaired the seat tube, straightened the rear drop outs and also filled some dents. ( amazing work a big thank you to Phil.)

Then I went on holiday for a week while Dan worked his magic, returning to work with holiday blues to be greeted with this.....

Next step is decals and then start polishing parts ready to build up... more to come in coming weeks...

Sweet Goose bud

I scored one of these from Spen a couple of years back, I've just recently started getting the parts for it together so it should be ready in 6 months or so.

I'll be following this thread for inspiration and just for the love of a goose

Spen69 · « **Reply #19 on:** November 27, 2013, 03:22 PM »

Chris, was that my nickel-plated 1980 f&f? I was trying to recall who bought it the other day but I think old age got the better of my memory

Didn't you have my copper coloured mk1 Mongoose f&f as well in the end..... now that was a nice frameset

Spen you're down to 50% effectiveness of your memory...

I have the copper MK1 but I didn't get your nickel plated f&f

I have a nickel DeCoster

Although the copper colour is lovely, i'm considering painting it black for a black and yellow build...

Spen69 · « **Reply #21 on:** November 27, 2013, 05:13 PM »

50% eh Chris

I'm happy with that statistic mate, that's a lot more than most on folks here

But seriously, pleeeeeease don't strip that copper Goose, it's a one-off. Let me see if I can find another to swap it for if you're just going to powder it black

To be honest I haven't looked at it in a long time, i'm not sure what makes it a one off other than the choice of paint...

But like I said I haven't looked at it, perhaps Spen can enlighten me?

I'm collecting yellow parts which would go with the copper.... But not as well as black

Spen69 · « **Reply #24 on:** November 27, 2013, 07:25 PM »

Just the paint job Chris. It's a standard Mongoose otherwise but it's a mk1 so getting harder to find.....
