Title: HELP!! been offered a survivor but
Post by: oldsky on November 20, 2006, 10:04 PM

I dont know what I'm really looking at  It has the following:
Frame and forks are Mongoose,  looptail with original decals - looks like a cali mongoose but I'm not sure. (plenty of rust on chrome)
Grey front skyway
Rear wheel is a leicester mag I think
Tagaki cranks
original black mushrooms
Big ol bars but dont know what they are,  they look a bit like DB pro bars but might be mongoose bars I suppose
Red kashi aero seat ( totally f****d)
The guy wants about £120

What should I be looking for on the frame as I said I dont know anything about mongoose bikes.

Thanks
Andy
