That's a 1984 Californian or Expert. Odds are that it's a Cali of it's of UK heritage.

Try VintageMongoose.com, this site has seriel numbers, dropout and gusset pictures so should help. Looking at it, it might be a Mongoose M1 but i'm sure some Mongoose collectors will soon let you.

Thanks for that info, that gives me something to go by now as to how it should look. I'm gonna bring it up to scratch and use it now.
Thanks for all the help and info, shall get the spanners out tomorrow and start stripping it.

I would say that's either an expert or a blue max :)
Are the BB and headset stamped mongoose or tange ?
