Title: Start of the Goose resto
Post by: Waxintaxin on May 25, 2006, 08:10 PM: Had a blast of the inspector and stripped the yellow off the goose , no cracks and fairly straight not sure what to do , like the idea of a survivor but the nickel may be a tad too gone

Title: Re: Start of the Goose resto
Post by: Steve P on May 25, 2006, 09:40 PM: Is that the original candy red paint inside the gusset . . . if so, I reckon that's a Team Mongoose frame

Damn . . . would've been a nice bonus if it was a Team

I like the early Goose F+F . . . proper old school geometry and styling . . . should never have sold mine back to "theRuler" :(

Cheers

Title: Re: Start of the Goose resto
Post by: theRuler on May 27, 2006, 08:06 PM: lol

i think the scratch was lost by turning the frame over and taking a picture of the other side.

Post by: Waxintaxin on May 27, 2006, 08:52 PM: lol yep its the other side lol
