Excellent! An old acquaintance of mine won that exact same bike in a raffle contest back in the day. I remember drooling over it. I say "acquaintance" and not "friend" because he ended up being a dick. Every time I had him over my house I'd notice something missing after he left... several Aurora slot cars, a set of Sugino 3 piece cranks that I can remember. I soon realized that it was him. Anyway, he got the bike stolen on him. What goes around comes around...

New one.

I think we confirmed on Facebook yesterday that it's an imitation. A period correct imitation but still an imitation. There is no keyway on the base and the knurling on the quill doesn't look right. It's smooth knurling compared the the rough knurling on all other DK stem examples. If you're still interested I'm totally willing to (and plan to) sell it.

Thanks for any insight!

Finally got out to get these.

Happy Belated!

Bike value is generally a question frowned upon in most forums. Best bet is to look for completed ebay auctions and sales postings on forums, etc. "There is no Blue Book for BMX". That said Goose stuff is highly sought after though I'm currently having problems getting asking price for an old Expert. Mongoose stamped bottom brackets and headsets are hot on the market. Australia is a huge hot spot for goose stuff.

While on this topic I'll throw in my own question. I have a set of Sugino CT cranks. Anyone have a timeline for them?

Too bad it's been spraybombed.

I'm almost positive this is mid-80s. I believe I had an 84? 500A with this same seat.
