is this a 81 supergoose ? the frame number is E111568 theres no letters on the frame only these numbers,(should it not have a T on the frame if it is a supergoose?) it has a flat on the inside of the rear right frame?

E1 is may 1981
so most likely stepped rear dropouts too

the flat stay and a 3 hole brake bridge are the clues to the all chromoly frame there
The "T" was dropped with the new serial code style

Mine has the three holes but no flat chain stay so it's not a perfect science.
