looks like an 83 mate.

nice find!!

is it deffo a super?
way to tell is 3 holes in the brake bridge and a flattened rear stay

Looks like mine and mines supposed to be 81

January 83, must be one of the last of the old shape made before they changed them to loop tails. A good mix of old bits and the upgraded bits,like the seatpost stem and seat. Give me the stem 

[kdw712]

A3 at the start of the serial
should make it a jan 1983 as said ^^^^ up there

mk2 rear drops means 81 - 83 so spot on there

and it would be the end of the gusset models as some time in 83 the
new gusset less models came out - pro class was out in late 82 in fact

again as said already
check for flat bit on the rear drive side seat stay and a 3 holed brake bridge


mmmmm i love supergooses

Ment to say tyres where either blue snakebelly's or cheng shin comp3 type again in blue,although black would do.

Mine serial no J2001307

The bike at the top is a regular goose. Well from the pics it is. I haven't seen a Supergoose with the gusset behind the BB open like that. Thats a odd frame. How many holes in the brake bridge???  It looks cool anyway. It may well be the last of the 2nd gen geese.

My super is the same open gussett, mine has the 3 hole brake bridge

[kdw712]

hadn't spotted that

another interesting twist in the mongoose builds

sure my 81 super has the "solid" box style but gonna have to check now

[kdw712]

i am wondering if the bike at the top of thread could be a mongoose california - not californian

sure its in the US  1983 cat  - gussetted goose with pro class rims etc

gonna have to have a dig about now

def sounds like a super then

interesting crossover between gusset and non gusset models
with that 'C' BB gusset

moza J2 is either sept or oct 1982 (depends if "i" was used as a month letter)
so mid to late 82 which rings true to the first pro class's arriving on the scene

cheers I knew it was 82 but not what year, I knew mine had the second generation dropouts. Now we need to find what the top bike is
