Eric Cartman Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 Hi guys,Just thought I would share my project with you guys. Well first of all I got my hands on a vintage Mini Profile Pro racing bike that I thought I was going to restore but me being a Mongoose fanatic I opted to have it swopped out for a Minigoose instead. Here is what the Profile looked like: http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/594/kl3u.jpg So then myself and a friend decided to do a swop with our frames with no wheels. And this is what I have now. 1983 Mongoose minigoose The day I brought it home and fitted my wheels: http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/22/7pw1.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/713/90oh.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/823/5dry.jpg Then over the weekend I got myself a Diamond back lay back seat post and a red Mx 1000 red brake caliper. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/845/pwc0.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/843/f8lg.jpg This is hot the Goose stands now: http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/7/36y8.jpg Skylark, ChUkKy, Tumbleweed and 2 others 5

NotSoBigBen Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 What hubs are those? They gauranteed stronger than yours
Tumbleweed Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 They gauranteed stronger than yours Don't remind me
Josh0 Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 Very cool build! My one friend and I used to have Super Gooses........those were the days. How does it ride, probably flippen quick hey? Eric Cartman 1
Eric Cartman Posted January 13, 2014 Author Posted January 13, 2014 What hubs are those?The front hub is a Suntour hub and the rear one is a Suzue. I found a matching suzue hub for the front which I will be installing as time for this project goes on. I will be removing the colour and having them anodized red hopefully.
Eric Cartman Posted January 13, 2014 Author Posted January 13, 2014 Very cool build! My one friend and I used to have Super Gooses........those were the days. How does it ride, probably flippen quick hey? Yeah I had two Supergooses as well (1 loop tail and one with gussets called the classic). I haven't tested it yet. I will do so once I am complete and happy with the outcome of the project. If you guys have any parts or know anyone who has these kinda parts please let me know. It will be appreciated. I am specifically at this point looking for Araya wheel rims and a two finger MX lever.
