[rick1970]

hi folks theres a mongoose cali comp frame +forks for sale by vintagebmxshop at mo on the bay which im sure ur all aware of ,and am tempted,
as want a cheap os race frame for next year,unfortunatley pic is a bit bob and he cant post anymore due to work,fair enough .what are your thoughts is it worth bothering with
and whats the max you think i shud bid
or shud i just wait for something else cheerz

is it from the states?  if so i wouldn't bother as you're bound to get hit with tax and inport duty.  If you're based in the UK i'm sure you could grab a Cali frame over here for what the tax and duty will be alone.

If its this one Ive seen them go for £130/£180ish.

i have done the other day but due to work commitments he cant post anymore ,beginning to doubt if its
worth the risk as it mentions damage on fork dropouts mmmmm

I wouldnt buy a bike on a single picture...  No dropout pictures then I wouldnt touch it.  That is just my opinion  If he wants to sell it he will get the Pics

If your not sure about it forget it another one will come along sooner or later

Sometimes its worth taking a risk.........if it's not what u want bang it back on the bay. Nothing lost.

I did this with a Cali. No real description of the condition or any decent photos.....it actually turned out to be a Minigoose
when I got my hands on it!!!...it was perfect for my nipper! 

You don't know, It could turn out to be a really nice frame.

I think £150 is too much for a cali - but that's just my opinion though, it may well sell for more on the wacky world of ebay..........
