well as some people may know my mate gave me his old Goose Cali which he'd had hung up in his workshop for years.....it was in a pretty poor old state when he gave it to me......a huge thanks to Nick (Gashead) for the forks, a star as usual!! Del for the decals on the plate and Jimmyp for the decals on the frame

so started to polish it up a little and seemed to come up better than i thought with a bit of elbow grease

well after i managed to get a bit of spare time this weekend i've built her up with the bits i had laying around.....now i know the seat isn't the correct one and i need a chain and brake cable....but i'm well pleased with how it looks!!

i've tried to keep it as my mate had it BITD.....the wheels were what he gave me too which have cleaned up a treat and spin forever! even have an old Mongoose stamped freewheel on them. he had a set of chrome EZ bars on it (which i have as well) but thought the WIN Bars looked better? not sure about how they ride yet though as the sweep on them is very Burner esqu? $:-\$ i know it's not the most exotic of OS bikes but i'm well pleased with how she's polished up and much better than being hung up sideways on an old workshop wall rusting away
