Hi Steve,I'm well on my way to getting it all together and thanks for a good frame. I now have a pair of pro class wheels with some tyres which a member of radmbx has pased on to me. I'm really relieved to find some as they're not so common in the UK - atleast it seemed to me. I have a sticker set and I'll keep you posted as to what it is like. I'm going to take my time with this and once its done I'll send you some pics. Hopefully once its done the only piece that will not be original is the seat stem..... now I'm a little larger a layback is a must for me. Keep in touchWILL DO MATE, IF YOU GET A RENTHAL SEATPOST, YOU WON'T BE FAR OFF, AS MOST EARLY MONGEESE HAD RENTHALS FITTED, I KNOW MY 82-83 GOOSE DID...

I've just tracked down the advert in BMX Bi-Weekly for 'Sale Cycles Warehouse' in Manchester where I got my Mongoose Californian. It cost £175 complete back then.The advert also lists a 'Californian Mag Wheel' model for £195. No indication what kind of mags they were.
