Title: weirdgoose?
Post by: selfpreservation on May 19, 2006, 10:14 PM

hi peeps i gotta weird goose i cant track down it looks exacty like the 84 uk grand prix in your museum except it has a californian seatube sticker

the serial number also goes 141400 then below 08 84 40015 (is this weird?)
it comes with the same rubbish cranks /chainring and the gp same sr copy stem proclass style steel chrome wheels (cmc rims on new star hubs) original mongoose seat /post and mongoose mx style seat clamp
also the seatube sticker doesnt say chatsworth or anything
did they just run out of gp stickers or what?

get some pics posted up
esp of the rear triangle
as the GP is way different to expert/cali/super/pro class

The GP is the only one of that era that's not a looptail, so pretty easy to tell I would think  :daumenhoch:
