I think you should get it powdered in white. I think white is the best colour for a bike, it looks so clean.

Steve Vinoah has a beautiful white early Goose in white. It looks amazing, one of my favourite builds.

A nice Red would be good I think Rhys.

Steve P · « **Reply #14 on:** December 05, 2007, 11:29 PM »

I like the reds and the blues ... that blue Team above is very nice

I'd like to get my hands on an early Goose project ... I'd love to build a replica of my very 1st bike

was the candy blue only used on the team?

Steve P · « **Reply #16 on:** December 05, 2007, 11:47 PM »

Yeah, only the Teams were available in the candy red and blue colours ... Team Minigoose included
