This is my 1983 Mongoose Supergoose (Pro Class stickers)
A little bit of background to this bike.
A friend of mine built it up. I just obviously paid for it. I wont be doing anything to it except for putting on the original Supergoose stickers at a later stage. He spent a lot of time and money into building this bike.
This bike was standing in a garage for a long time and giving me sleepless nights. I used to have one in the late 90s and wanted to always own one again. After much thinking and scraping cash together I decided to just close my eyes and buy it.
Here is the parts list.
Frame & Fork: 1983 Mongoose Supergoose
Bars: Mongoose Pro Class stamped bars.
Stem: Pro Class stem
Grips: White Mongoose repro
Brake levers: Dia Compe Tech 2
Brake calipers: MX1000
Rims: Pro Class Aluminium pierced with Shimano hubs and Shimano freewheel.
Cranks: Mongoose 175 one piece cranks.
Pedals: ACS Stoker pedals
Spider: Mongoose Pro Class power disc
Seat: Kashimax Aero.
Seat clamp: Dia Compe copy that is original to the bike.
Seatpost: Mongoose.
Pads: 80s Mongoose pads in blue.
Decals / Stickers: Pro Class (but will be changed in due time)

I had some white Bubble fonts that never came up white - more off white and i tried everything...
I'm currently massaging vaseline into a Comp 2, its quite enjoyable (apart from the one finger typing...)

Hi guys,
Just thought I would update this thread on what I decided regarding this build.
I just pulled the Pro class stickers and applied the Supergoose ones. Added a white seat clamp and white chain. I removed the front brakes.
Well here are the results. I will upload the complete project to the bikes section once I am happy.
