Very nice

what year is it? gonna have to get good with my 'Gooses! is it me or is there a bit of a 'Goose phase going on lately??? I hope it stays

That is a great looking frame, will come up a treat.

So what colour are you going to do it? White is a great colour for an old Goose. Steve Vinoah built an absolute beauty in white.. one of my all time favourites (the Goose not Steve, although he is a stunner also

)

afternoon, shes a chatsworth stamped mid 1979 , im gonna go for a mild yellow i think, but that could always change if the guy at the powder coaters doesnt have the right yellow.. was toying with the ashtabula forks and stem/bars etc but im not 100% on that idea ,its not really a "useable" bike in the original guise.. is it? maybe some cw,s on it , we,ll see how it pans out ... i also have Dales old one with the butchered seat post tube so maybe 1 can stay original..

I reckon White has got to be!

stfc · « **Reply #5 on:** February 09, 2009, 06:12 PM »

Loving that yellow 'Goose!

stfc · « **Reply #7 on:** February 09, 2009, 06:50 PM »

thats the colour im after

magna13 · « **Reply #8 on:** February 09, 2009, 06:55 PM »

well i think you should do it in that colour for deffinate now

i reckon you should go for some really swish forks like some Ashtabula's or some Bottema's if you can find some and some really nice box bars

Maybe you should have got these forks when you had the chance $:-\$ http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php'topic=79378.0
would look proper on that mongoose

He may still have them if you need them though $:-\$
