raleigh or goose???????

[gt0733]

ok fellas, here's what looks to me like a mongoose with a raleigh head badge and fork. can anyone give me some more info about it before i decide to buy it.

whats the serial number?looks goosey to me

[kdw712]

i asked dave "beard" about that one

could be the real deal as the headtube badge looks proper riveted on there
or be a miss mash of two bikes

a couple of things i've just noticed too

the cable guides on the TT - not a standard mongoose feature (though could be clips)
also the the seat stay gusset the hole is pushed out and on normal mongooses its pushed in

and that Bot brkt gusset was on the 75 / 76 goose frames

a serial No would be nice - i never got a reply on that point

I think one of the Rampars has a Goosey looking gussett. Ask Crossrider or Hotrodzombie on the Burner forum, they'll tell ya

It does look goosey, but Im sure its a Rampar, a sensible USA? built Raleigh before the burner nightmares were introduced

its a rampar. because on the rampar headtube stickers it says 'THE RALEIGH' and where it is supposed to say nottingham, england it just has loads of dash's like this '///////////'

does it weigh a ton and have bubble gum welding?   

[kdw712]

skip hess/BMX Products did have some involvement with the rampars builds i believe
so that would explain a fair bit

can't remb if its in the auction or what the seller told me
but the bike is South African branded

def worth a punt i'd say
