No, a usa supergoose is different from an 85 usa cali. A 85 usa cali is the same as an 84-85 uk supergoose but different head tube badge. Hope this clears things up :D :LolLolLolLol:

Hello !
I can buy too a Mongoose Supergoose looptail and it is a 1984 frame too : the serial number is I4000062 who seems to say that's an october 1984 frame, right ? I've already a Eric Rupe Signature (J4000946) with only 1 hole on the brakebridge. The Supergoose that I can buy has 3 holes, no badge but a headsticker, the seattube sticker says "Helia Arc...., Hand crafted .... Moorpark 1983 and has a "Cr-mo maintube" sticker on the toptube. So, is it really a USA Supergoose ? I know that looptails have been made in France, in the mid 80', under Mongoose license.

I've made a mistake in my description : seattube sticker says "Chatsworth" and not "Moorpark", like I've mentionned. Excuse me.

Yes I've pics. I've bought the Supergoose frame. It is not already in my possession, but it will be soon. The frame was stocked in a french shop. The seller said that it's a NOS frame, but it isn't : it has bottom bracket cups and headset cups installed. The price is 100 euros shipped to me.

Weren't all of the Supergoose/Team Mongoose frames 100% cro-mo, not just cro-mo main tubes (tri-moly)?

About the description of the sticker, I've made a mistake, sorry : it's a "Cromoly mainframe" sticker and not "Cromoly maintube"
sticker. Login_user has seen the pictures about my frame and it's a 1984 US Supergoose.

finally got the bike bits today from the usa :daumenhoch: will try get some pics on here soon its stickered up as a supergoose has a sakae sr stem mongoose headset  pro class bars unstamped and forks not sure if thats the spec for a supergoose as a uk super had a pro class stem correct me if im wrong someone
serial number starts m4k1 so its not an expert as they have a e in the serial number also has 03 stamped on the brake bridge and it has a sticker on the head tube not a metal badge so does that rule out a cali ?
if i can find some scales i will weigh it soon too

fingers crossed it is a super as thats what i really want at the mo but they seem to be non excistant in the usa ive searched other forums and posted asking if any one owns a super over there with no joy

so thats why im questioning what it is hope its a super and not somin else thats been re stickered up

M - moor park most likely as it was mongoose HQ usually confirmed by seat tube decal, though most made in taiwan
4 - 1984
k - believed to be the month jan = 1 etc


first how thick are the chain and seat stays ?
pro class thick or californian thick
also calis' seat stays usually sit above the top tube a bit


don't think the expert had an E to identify it
i know mine didn't they all shared a common numbering system
hence why id can be a pain

pics ill def help  :daumenhoch:
