Eric Cartman Posted March 31, 2014 Author Posted March 31, 2014 Sweet ride... Brings back SO MANY memories.Riding around the neighbourhood meeting up with mates, used to only go home for lunch.Awesome, nice job. Kudos to a friend of mine who built it up. I just obviously paid for it. I wont be doing anything to it except for putting on the original Supergoose stickers at a later stage. He spent a lot of time and money into building this bike. This bike was standing in a garage for a long time and giving me sleepless nights. I used to have one in the late 90s and wanted to always own one again. After much thinking and scraping cash together I decided to just close my eyes and buy it.
jog5000 Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 That was the bike of my dreams when I was a laaitie! Would have killed for that...awesome.
Grebel Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Aaaah the 80's. Dia Compe, Kashimax..... Looking at those levers I remember a mate had a supergoose (I think it was a supergoose) I had a yellow Motomag with rat trap pedals and those winged grips from Oakley (Ergon?) His was red with gold anodised rime with a freewheel hub and Dia Compe brakes.... Good times! Nice ride by the way!
Eric Cartman Posted March 31, 2014 Author Posted March 31, 2014 This is my last Vintage bike that I will buy. My other one I am building is a 1983 Diamondback Medium Pro. I will post up a pic of this once I complete it with a little story hopefully.
