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. 1975 to late 1977 the frames have no brake bridge, and had the coaster brake mount welded on.
