Hiya Crazy

Very nice resto......Top Job.

I have a Cali that was in the same condition as yours pre - resto, and with some hours of elbow grease it also now shines.

I have never been a Mongoose fan, but after seeing yours and knowing how well my bike has come up will say that Mongoose have quality metal and knew how to chrome for a lasting and thick finish!

Very nice grips and wheels too. Does it have a Mongoose spider?
