I have had a vision for this build for about 3 1/2 years now and just finally got around to making it happen, I wanted to build up a skatepark style supergoose that looks like what someone might have rode in the skateparks in the early 80s.

cool looking yet tough enough to take the abuse. I really like how this bike turned out, the exact type of supergoose that I have always wanted. The tange trx forks had no decals on them when I got them so I decided to put some repro team mongoose fork decals on them for a custom touch. I tried to use the best parts I could while building it on a budget, so its a realatively low cost build. how does it look?

Very nice! Supergeese were born to be park bikes, even if Mongoose didn't know it. Here's mine. I did ride it in the skatepark on a number of occasions before I finally relented and built a new school bike.

thanks guys, I cant wait to try it out on some ramps soon and when I do i'll get some riding pics. thats a great looking supergoose frazer I like it, the bottema forks really make it stand out and it sorta reminds me of coasty's supergoose.

the weird thing about this supergoose is that it doesnt have a hole for a kickstand on the bottom like all the others that ive seen yet it still has the three holes in the brake bridge.
