Looks like an early Mongoose, don't think it's a Supergoose maybe a Trimoly Mongoose

Nice bike, lovin the yellow  

Heres the story about the 3 bikes.

Bike 1 was picked up in a bike shop in '95 for £80. It had Skyway tuff II's and ran generally ok, but it has lay in the shed for the past 12 years. Heres a close up of the crank, the pedals are defo shimano DX...





Bike 2 was a machine I picked up from a friend back in '94. The bike was beautiful when I got it, looked after really well, but I was a punk kid and ended up doing some silly stunts on it, thus snapping the top of the seat tube. A guy I knew said he could weld the seat post to the seat tube, and what you see is the aftermath of the massacre. I owe it to the bike to put her back to her former glory, it will be a big job but I want to put right what wrong I did all those years ago.


Bike 3 was the bike I last had. It has been through the wars. I learned to 360 on it before putting it into retirement.

Miss Boo, thankyou very much 

[ronnie360]

it is nice to see that you still have your old bikes 

[kdw712]

that top one the mk 1 goose

whats the serial number on the bottom bracket say

will help tell you what model you have

if it has a "T" at the beginning its a full chromo frame if not as said ^^^^ it'll be tri moly frame
also tell you what year/month it was built too

though it does look like dull nickle meaning prob regular trimoly goose
should clean up a treat

 

[jT Racing]

the supergoose is a nickel team frame.

[shinobi]

The number on the bottom bracket reads.....

F130925

Does this help any? Im gonna start restoration next month and need to know the exact model of Goose 

[kdw712]

F1 ...

Would mean 1981 from the 1
and F should be june 6th letter and 6th month

judging from the pics its a regular goose
last of the mark one style rear drops

[shinobi]

 

You've been a big help matey, thankyou 

[kdw712]

youre def sure theres no "t" stamped on the BB at all ?
would be unusual with that that of serial numbers though

cos the forks look like team forks (or poss later goose forks) rather than the tange crimped end type

Heres a link to the image.
