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

Didn't you once build it with yellow parts Spen?

Russ, sorry for the hijack of your thread. Love the candy red - I just had my Retrogoose done in candy blue

That frame looks awesome, it's gonna look sweet when it's built up

childhooddream · « **Reply #37 on:** January 05, 2014, 06:16 PM »

Well cant believe time has gone so quick since I last updated this... xmas/birthdays.. time flys

Anyway as weather is crap have only taken some pics inside but hope it shows the progress ive made

It is totally built up now but havent managed to get any more pics..

Last pic shows it built up but missing seat clamp and chain being tightened up..

Will get some better pics of it all built up before entering in BOTM!

That is positively gorgeous !

Now that's a BMX!

As I mentioned earlier in the thread I'm building one of these at the moment. One point I found odd was the placement of the main Goose frame decal - top tube of down tube. What made you go with top tube for your build as I've seen survivors with the decal in both positions?

Glynnyboy · « **Reply #43 on:** January 05, 2014, 11:11 PM »

Looking good mate

Chris, everything old and Goose is subject to variation bud..... if JonnyGoose Bobafett was still on here, he'd be able to tell us which employee put them on which tube, and of course the more contraversial "should the red or the orange stripe of the decal go at the front" debate could re-commence.......

Generally I've found the Team Mongoose decal to be on the top-tube and the Supergoose decal on the inclined down-tube but of course there are exceptions. But generally this is what I've found over the years collecting Geese

Team or Super, the full cromo mk1 nickel or candy Goose is the only Goose to have IMHO

Oh well, i've gone black with chrome forks but i'm not building a factory rep.

I wondered why you sold me the copper Goose and now I know - the decal was in there wrong place and it wasn't nickel or candy!!!

Nah, I sold it because I was stupid and should have kept the f&f for a rainy day Chris
