Mongoose / Supergoose differences?
« on: March 04, 2006, 12:48 PM »
Right guys I have a late 81 gussetted goose (serial no starting K1).
How do you tell the difference between a normal Mongoose (& Motomag) frame and a Team or Supergoose
I know that the supergoose are all cro-mo and the Mongoose are only 3 main tubes cro-mo but do they have different rear dropouts or brake bridges etc.?
Will try and get some pics later

Could be wrong but didn't the high end models have a slotted rear brake bridge or something

Cheers

the word 'Supergoose' or 'Pro Class' on the down tubes is often a good clue
