1979 Team Mongoose - well stocked
« on: January 17, 2009, 12:02 AM »
Just pulled the trigger on this bad boy on ebay.  :smitten:

BIN was $425.00 (not too bad a price) I couldn't resist, I have a thing for candy apple red.  It needs a black suede seat and some black grips and a new brake lever. The gold block stem does not look to be mongoose, maybe a knock off, but everything else is top notch.

Now I have 2 gooses - the other one will have to go...arggg. I'm temped to put my black tuff I's on the Team Goose, Candy red w/ black tuff's always looks great and I love Tuff's and hate spokes if they're dull looking which these are. I do love chrome spokes though - sparkle, sparkle.

That goose is the bollox, and I hate old school bikes - maybe its just ones newer than that that i hate though.

I hope it wasn't my fault getting you the bug to get back into bikes  :angel:

it'll look even better , with what you've got planned for it  :4_17_5:


It's a pity you don't live in the UK , I'd have made an offer on your goose you getting rid of  :(

cheers lads - (you're all up late).

John - THE SERIAL NUMBER IS T CE9 165000 1979 right? What do you make of that stem? Def. a knock off right? (no allen bolts on top)

It hasn't arrived yet, hoping whoever re-painted this did a good job, hard to tell from the pic on the bay.

Like I said, add a black suede seat and some black grips and she'll be sweet. Tuff' I's or keep the Araya's on her???

Seems like a great buy to me, but I love a goose.

Very nice bike.

Yeah the stem looks abit funky mate - base plate looks a little too thick  :-\
But it's jhard to tell with the picture mate - could just be the lighting - get some more pics up when she arrives  ;)
Oh and yeah MAY'79 frame - nice.

Nice looking bike that. It is a team bike too so good catch there.

The stem could be on of the ones used on the anniversary bikes.

Mine for ref

Frosty - yeah yours is the real one - very nice indeed, w/ the goose headset I see too  :coolsmiley:

I guess I'll know more when it arrives. Lets hope it's off an anniversary bike.  :daumenhoch: you never know what shows up from the bay.
