I'm in love.
A newschool version of my 'Goose!

umm fail? i dont see any pics...

i think you might be trying to post about the new knight retro goose...
ya its sweet, but the axle slots are exactly like the goofy angled ones from the original...

here it is:


COASTY
yeah, well it worked when I first posted it. And it works when you enlarge it?
Stuffed if I know

Cool but doesn't fit into my bakers dozen self imposed limit that I've set for myself.
kcmobmx
kick ass! did they make a fork to go with it? where can I get more details?

It would look killer in chrome with candy blue powder over and some repro decals. Is a mid bottom bracket same as a Euro? If not I would rather have it with a euro bottom bracket. The cable guides need to be moved to where they could be hidden under a old school frame pad. A 24 would be killer too!

And change the 990 mounts to regular mounts on the top.

This is dangerously cool. Over the top cool.

I think I'd want one more if it were a cruiser.

Cool, nevertheless!
mushroomgrips
Nice! Would love this in a loop tail and cruiser size!
GFR Industries
Cool but I'm not digging the brake mounts.
wagonguy
It's a street/park frame, and those brake mounts are standard for that type of frame. Also the mid BB, as a euro doesn't hold up as well under street/park conditions. If they made one a little bit longer, I'd rock it. My Fit is 21.25" and fits me well.

If that is available in a nickle plated 24" with an added "pre 77 gusset" I'm in!

Uber Kool!!

That's how Mongoose should have done their retro bike a while back.

That is very cool.
COASTY
Totally agree.
I think I might sell some stuff to get one of these.

Great, thought I was done buying frames. I Gotta have one of those.

I have black tuff wheels hanging in the garage, so, candy blue with black tuffs and blue snakebellies. I am screwed.

It is cool, however I would have to agree with some others, make it a 24", and dear lord put those brake mounts where they belong.
Blue_Max
looks awesome, I like the look of this alot better then the 2005 pacific replica. i'm definately going to order one of these when their available. i'd like to build it up to look like a modern version of my black 81 goose below. with some nice retro parts and some old school parts....I might also have to get a one off set of a modern threadless tange trx style fork custom made for the knight goose.

sonikk71
The pics of it all built up on their blog look sweet! Anyone heard a price yet?
COASTY
Oh man, they built it just like what I was thinking !! Love those forks too wink.gif
Volcano
So who's doing the decals Glenn?...LOL tongue.gif
COASTY

I got prices and specs from George at Knight and lets just say I am now selling what I need to so I can buy one.
Faust Wurstkotzenhauser
Looks killer! If they do a 24" cruiser with a 14.75" chainstay it will be very tempting!
AdrianH
I like that a lot Glenn. How much are they asking?
COASTY
$395 in black or white and about $90 postage to OZ. In US dollars too.
