I posted about this in the intro section earlier, but thought this would be a good place to put up some pics... I cleaned it up a bit, but I still only have my partially broken iphone camera (auto focus is bad, I have a replacement camera for it, but have to swap it..). I got it in '82, but the SN is telling me it's an '81.. H152312. I'm not sure what to make of the SN, I don't see a designation for a Team/Supergoose. It has the extra holes in the rear brake brace, and 2 holes in the step type dropouts, but it does NOT have the flat spot for the chain. It is mostly stock with the exception of:
Seat - replaced with Avocet Aero in '83.. not sure why I did that![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Seat Post - Replaced with CrMo laid back post about the same time as seat, had a red aluminum fluted one, but it bent on a rough landing
Seat Post Clamp - Replaced with red aluminum Suntour when I put fluted post on
Pedals - KKT Lightning installed in '82 or '83
Grips - A'ME Tri-Grips (went through several types of grips and liked these the best)
Brake levers - I installed Dia-Compe brake levers because they were cool...
The tires are original "Snake Belly" type, with Mongoose branding, I had a set of blue Tuff Wheel II's with Comp III's on it for a long while.. I think the Tuff Wheels are still in my storage somewhere![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
So... What do the experts think about the SN/year/no flat chain spot, and what I should ask if I decide to listen to my wife and sell it?
I have to at least give it one more ride.. and the tubes still hold air!
