The 'C' stands for chatsworth', which is where the original goose shop was in cali. To help make sense of the lettering is simple: if yours starts with CH9**** That would be a team (or super) january (a) first month, '0' for 1980 mongoose.Īnother hint is the supergooses had three (3) holes in the brake bridge after october 1981. They must be overseas frames but came in chrome so are supergooses. UPDATE: it seems that some time around 79-80 and later, some supergooses were made, but not in chatsworth. supergoose came in chrome only, the teams were nickel plated with either a blue or red coating. If it starts with: TC, this means its a team or supergoose. Mid 1981 to early 1982 they started using the stepdown dropout with the 2 holes machined in it, thus, the birth of the 'super' dropout. Late 1977 to mid 1979 they added the brake bridge but lost the coaster mount. back then the serials were sometimes only 4 numbers, so looking at the frame was the only way to id the year. This one was discovered only partly built as a frame alone and looking as if it was never ridden.was wondering if the F meant sold as frame only.1975 to late 1977 the frames have no brake bridge, and had the coaster brake mount welded on. stickered amer made 83 supergoose looptail is F for the first # If you buy this item it's your fault.'īy the way.my white chatw.

It is located under the frame near the cranks. Q: Who told you this might be a californian pro class, and why? The pro class and californian are two differently manufactured models, and not the same bike.

No one even bothered to comment on those forks ! ) you know i've been hunting for a few years for proclass frames. i knew you'd have the lowdown.that avatar of yours shure makes me jealous.
