Nice Goose mate,Mongoose stem as well ,that is a great find,gives us all hope they are still out there.
Strange it has been re stickered as a Supergoose.

Have you worked out what model it is yet?

Did I get close? $:-\$

Nice find. Is it a Mongoose Wire Wheel? $:-\$

Ba5h · « **Reply #55 on:** November 24, 2014, 09:31 PM »

Only got as far as its not a supergoose as stickered but just a normal mongoose 1980 build year $:-\$

BMX1973 · « **Reply #56 on:** November 24, 2014, 09:57 PM »

I did not notice the supergoose decal until someone mentioned it.

Did the person selling it at the boot fair say anything about the history of the bike?

No mate he was just a dealer.

Not seen bars like this before either

Awesome find and yet more proof there's still loads out there.

I might be wrong but didn't Cook Brothers do bars like that?

I'm probably wrong

I know nothing other than GT and CW

I'm rubbish at this guess stuff

glenboy · « **Reply #60 on:** November 25, 2014, 01:58 AM »

I'd agree with Nick above cook bros they do repros now but judging by the bike it doesn't look like it's been touched for years so I'd say they are right

Ba5h · « **Reply #61 on:** November 25, 2014, 08:42 AM »

After a little nosey on google seems you guys are right they look lke cook bros bars I am gonna try get the grips off at some point see if there are any markings

bigfatolly · « **Reply #62 on:** November 25, 2014, 05:18 PM »

Yes they are Cook Bros bars and very rare what a great find.

Strongs Bicycles was in Palmerston Road in Boscombe/Bournemouth.

If you don't mind me asking,where are you from and where did you find it?

PM me if you don't want to put it on here.

Never seen Cook Brothers bars with the crossbar welded that high

The turn down angle doesn't look right either .

I don't think they are but wtf do i know

bargaintastic. its yours to do what you wish with but the noble thing to do would be to keep it as is , sort the consumables and and ride it

I stand corrected,yes they are welded quite high aren't they,I presumed that if the bike was original they would indeed be Cook Bros bars as they are from that era?

rodriguez · « **Reply #68 on:** November 25, 2014, 08:13 PM »

Look like Goose bars OK but intentionally made but with the crossbar Cooks Bros style, if this was the BMXmuseum I reckon people would be screaming prototype.

Devilock · « **Reply #69 on:** November 25, 2014, 08:18 PM »

From a car boot down here on the coast near brighton

I have had a good look at the bars tonight and can't see any names on them and they have been cut down the welds are neat but wouldn't say amazing

and there is a small lump in between the mongoose stem so would only really fit that type of stem $:-\$

Cook Bros made that kind of stem too
