Title: Mongoose Californian
Post by: childhooddream on February 11, 2013, 08:40 PM

I bought the frame and forks off here about 3 months ago.. Proper surviour condition when I got it but spent hrs cleaning and polishing up.

I had a few mongoose parts from previous builds but started hunting the for sale section and ebay to find more parts to suit this cali.

The pics aernt great as weather been so bad not had a chance to take some outside in the sun.. :(

Just need to fit chain and blue rear caliper/left lever and ready to rock..

Nice that, i've always liked Cali's. The only thing i'd do to that would be to move the seat back a bit on the rails to make it more central.  :4_17_5:
