thanks mate.
that candy was applied straight over the nickel after a bit of a polish. the nickel was shot when i got it, but tell tale blue inside the gusset and in the welds told the story that it had indeed been candy blue early in it's life.

lazychubs, sorry for the high jack

Here is another Candy Blue Goose, my '78 DeCoster.

I applied a Metalic Silver base with Candy Blue over the top.

lazychubs · « **Reply #18 on:** November 19, 2007, 05:00 PM »

oh they look nice in blue
and also spokes seem to suit em aswell
so may go with spokes for now unless i get some motomags

right call me trev(was a looptail) lol
why are the down tube stickers on the top tube

jT Racing · « **Reply #21 on:** November 19, 2007, 10:33 PM »

i've gone collecting mad

first thing i thought when i saw that was, i would love to get a set of those forks still in the box. When you start wanting box's then it's getting a bridge to far for me. I'll have a word with myself.

thats where their supposed to be on earlier models
check the catalogues, think they dropped down on the 81 - 83 models which have the stepped rear drops

oh and also with that decal - the color stripe to the front is the red one NOT the orange one
you'll lose points for that
