Californian Resto Pics So far

[jezza]

Well im not just into burners ya know  This was the bike i wanted as a kid, parents ordered it and i never got it  well sod them i've bought me own 

Pro Class rims currently being polished so put some zytecs on it think they look cool. Bars need chroming, hope you like it

cali's rock

i have an 85 cali frame waiting for forks, for for Bill to do the later 'goose stickers.

here's one that me mate rides (at bones)



jezza are you really short, btw?

[jezza]

 

Nah just put it like that will alter it later 

[wirewheel]

are you sure it's not a supergoose i noticed the bars aren't like a regular californian

[wirewheel]

that's definitely a second gen supergoose mate. if you got that with those bars on and no stickers it's a supergoose. if i'm wrong you can custard pie me man.
the californian only had main 3 tubes cromo, and smaller bars. the supergoose was full cromo and i think the pro class is the same frame but black chrome finish (i have  seen chrome pro class on here!) and better parts and all but i aint 100% sure on that. maybe we could have a forum about this i'll let you do that as it's your bike. a mate of mine has a supergoose like that with those bars!!!  i'll try get a photo on here of it for y'all hope he still got the stickers on it!!!!!

look at the rear brake bridge
3 holes = supergoose so the story goes .....

pro class was a all tubes cromo frame but with thin walled tubes
hence why its weighs less than a stick insect on a diet

[theRuler]

the cali wasnt all cromo?

[sawzall]

 ive got a pro class in chrome which i bought from hot wheels in 83 the down tube is  thicker on the pro class an easy way to identify frames

[kdw712]

on the money ruler
the cali was a trimoly frame
the grand prix was a trimoly
the expert (US only?) was a all tubes frame with pants parts ...... go figure
the supergoose was all tubes & good parts (look at brake bridge for 3 holes)
pro class has over sized down tube and rear stays and is super light (mmmmmmmm homer simpson moment)

though i have a US import mk3 super and it has all the tubing of a pro class but weighs near 7 lbs instead of the 5 odd for  a PC

well guys, the bike is from the US and has the headbadge not a sticker. the rear brake bridge has just the one hole. the bars did come with the bike but they may have been changed.

also the stickers were on it, californian 1985, i bought 2 at the same time one of which still has the stickers on the frame, and it came with the same bars 

any other help would be kool, but do yas like it 

[theRuler]

i like it a lot!

[wirewheel]

guess i got a custard pie coming then and i was sure they didn't put those bars on calis but the catalogue pic proves me wrong again. my mate had a cali with smaller bars? you live and learn!!!

[jezza]

hey wire

i throw a custard in your general direction 

[kdw712]

buckmore bat has a supergoose too
and i checked it today and did have a 3 hole bridge

might be something to this ......
