Well, I guess I have finally made it to the "dark side". Ever since I got into old bikes, I have been looking to find a replacement for my childhood bike. It was a 1983 Supergoose that I had put red and yellow parts on, and it was an awesome bike.
They only made this style Looptail Supergoose for 2 years so they are hard to come by. For almost 9 months I had a pending deal with a guy in Austrailia to buy a F/F set, but problems and delays just kept putting the deal off. I kept and eye on the BMX Museum too, and tried to find one, but untill now, came up empty.
A few weeks ago, I got in touch with a guy who had one he was restoring using the OA method. We struck a deal for a reasonable price, although it was more than 3 times what I paid for any other bike I own. Had to sell a few things to fund it, but I paid for it tonight! Here is the link to the bike as I'm getting it:

I still need to put a few different things on it to come closer to "my" bike, but this is good for now. Hopefully I will not be too big to ride it.
:shock:
