Mini Goose

[xddorox]

I wasn't going to participate this year. With all that has happened in the past month I've become a bit introverted. My son smacked me back to reality and insisted we do the build off as a father/son project for the summer. So here I am and the fact that he has free access to a sandblasting machine has nothing to do with it!

On with our subject, what we have here is one 1970 something CCM folder bike. From what I can make of it, it got a second chance at life at some point from the repaint I can see. It was headed for the trash pile when I got my hands on it and now it will have a third chance at life, a cool life.

The folding feature still works, I'm very happy about that.

Gotta get busy taken it apart.

No KOTA... i already to you that it cant be ridden when its folded up now stop asking!!!! :roll:

Here's junior helping out with disassembly, he just can't wait to take this thing in the sandblaster.

Picture of the bare frame next to my son's feet for perspective on size. That frame is small!

Cool choice for the build off! This will be a fun build to follow. I'm glad you and your son decided to participate! Have fun!

Since the frame is already hinged in the middle,would rules let you turn it into a swing bike?I know swing bikes hinge under the seat tube,but I wonder if it would have the same affect on middle support tube?That thing should turn out cool regaurdless!

 

[LIVE TO RIDE]

sorry,forgot to mention that bada$$ vertical gooseneck!That thing is bad!!

 

[xddorox]

I won't start looking at the rules for that, I have no intention of turning it into a swing bike. For those wondering why it's called the Mini Goose, here's the regular Goose:

cool!
I've been using a folder for a few years until it broke in two... I brought it to the scrapper a week ago. Kept the metal Raleigh-headbadge though. Looking forward to your build, espacially after seeing Maxi Goose.

Good luck.

Enjoy it man, I've been building bikes with my son for the past 12 years. This is the first one he actually suggested. He's into cars now, so this might be the last one for a while, if ever.

Nah,Mate,it won't be the last one for y'all...it's like Proverbs,man,if ya raise em right,they won't depart from it when they're older :mrgreen:

I'm sure some of you thought this build was dead and I don't blame ya. I was hunting for a proper fork since I want to shoe it with a pair of Maxxis Hookworms. The stock fork is too narrow for that. I found said fork and now I had some time and splashed the bike with it's first coat of Krylon Rust Tough. No prep work was done at all, I shot it straight on after going over it with a rag. Next up will be to make that wrap around rear fender.
