My Mongoose Supergoose 3

[djgivvinup]

The repop ones 

i think atariager has got some on his eric rupe in the museum 

[matt]

i have 3 sets on the way, i will compare them to my original ones, apparently the repops are made from the same mold as the old ones

Just received delivery of my repro mongoose grips (all 3 available colours red,blue and black - he's not doing yellow!) and i have to say thay are pretty fookin good ! Compared them to my originals on my supergoose 2 and they are identical except for one small detail - on the inside of the grip rim face next to where the bar enters, the originals have 7/8" embossed in them where as the new ones have R (possibly to indicate reproduction ?) other than that they are exactly the same and for that price they are perfect for a mogoose build  - cost me 45 quid to get all 3 colours including postage all the way from the states and took less than a week to arrive.
Hope this helps folks .................

where as the new ones have R (possibly to indicate reproduction ?)

that was the one thing they had to do
and its supposed to be a softer modern material
so not as hard as the orig grips - which is nice

£15 a throw not too bad at all
considering what pukka grips can sting ya for

over VBMX they were saying they found the original moulds and maker

Now you  come to mention it they do feel a little softer than the original grips - but not too soft !

my 3 sets landed today, and the material is much softer than the originals they feel like ame tri
the quality is good but not brilliant there are a couple of things, they have 2 pin holes on the end of each grip and the overall finish is not as clean as the originals but for the price they are great. i would stick with the genuine grips on a prized build though

[bobafett]

Yeah I understand what matskybeat is sayin about a prized build and using originals - i needed yellows and forked out a packet for them myself but not sure where your comin from on the "2 pin holes on the end of each grip" thing - i've got original team goose yellows in original mongoose packaging and original red survivors and they both have the 2 nipple dots on the end of 'em - maybe yours have worn off ?
Anyways each to there own - if your building an early goose these will definitely look better and feel truer than some AME's etc.

Peace
