was not really after another project but unit3 had this for sale and ive loved them for years. simple design and still unique with twin down tubes. for me it was especially when brian lopes??? was blasting down the ridge trail on "tread" and it opening and blew my mind of what could be done on a bike down err hills haha. to be fair dartmoor had some equally cool spot
anyways, a super deal was done and it arrived superbly packaged and i really couldnt wait to get it out and look at it. build will be done with a fairly strict budget due to a vw t4 needing money throwing at it or should that be spanner :evil: . mainly xt stuff i already had and have recently sourced bits and the usual new seat post and cables etc. think im going to use some oldskool odyssey bear traps and use the goose as a "fun" bike and rag the hell out of it, just what they were built for going to mix a few anodised bits in the brighten it up abit and try and keep it clean over winter :facepalm:
heres a few pics of before (hope unit3 doesnt mind using his pics )
these are ace!!!!
this is a hard descision but i rek ill try the amp forks with extender, too cool not to and suit the bikes perfectly
bit of a clean. used tfr and fine wire wool then silver brasso. not perfect but not after perfection lol
spot the mistake............ :facepalm:
thats better, not the best picture but loving this!!!!
waiting for a few bits and i will start bolting together sunday :mrgreen:
