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.

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!

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. :)

Memories... So many!

So chrome, or go home!

Those tires!

The debate over 44/16 or 45/16, or 43/15, it could go on and on...

I have pics of my Redline 500 somewhere... Sjoe, so many kilos on that bike!

Kudos to my old man for doing this all for me.

He raced a fixy on an oval track, back in the day...
