just read the sticky again on what is a uk supergoose and in it someone says the usa expert frame is the same as a super  :idiot2:
so it could well be a super after all
i started this thread as supergoose isnt really heard of over in the us where i got this from so that put a doubt in my mind to what it was

 :D

wow £40 - frickin bargain

inside, was that a trimoly frame or all tubes ?



it gets very messy with this

my understanding is : (deep breath and go )

in the US they had the pro class, the supergoose, the expert, the californian

pro class and supergoose (US Spec) both had same outside diameter tubing - ie chunky, pro class was thinned wall so much lighter

the cali and expert were a right mixed bag, the expert i owned was an 1984 and was all tubes frame but the rest of spec was all steel
the cali was a  tri moly frame but better spec'd   - eh  go figure ::)

i believe the expert dropped down the list and became entry level later while the cali improved (all tubes etc)
i'm not sure if theres a diff in the two frames in terms of geom' and stuff but it def gets grey and fuzzy with these two from 83 - 85 ish

in the UK we had pro class, UK spec supergoose (see monster thread elsewhere)
which was a all tubes version of either the expert or cali - having a single hole brake bridge and thin rear stays
and the cali & grand prix 

mongoose seemed to chop and change all over the place

but bottom line is if its a US spec supergoose it more than likely will be a chunky tube model

i'm gonna go lay down now as my head hurts  :D
