mongoose m1 v$ californian + value?

[chrishil1]

Thinking of purchasing a mongoose m1 1985 f&f, the model is m1 which looks the same as the californian.
Could anyone put a value on this frame and forks for me, how much i should be paying, and the spec of the original m1 v$ californian?

Thanks

Heres chris's pic...Chris the sticker on the tube underneath the saddle? What does it say

Description from seller:

"Hi- The 85 is an M-1, which is the same frame & fork
as a Californian, they just had different parts when
sold as complete bikes. This one has very nice
original decals, usually when you see these frames for
sale the decals have been stripped off. Replacement
decals are almost impossible to find and usually go
for a lot of money when they surface. "

I think its worth the money mate, especially with those wheels, just watch the shipping charges

going to try and swap laptop i never use for something old school bike shaped, as my new school mongoose doesnt really have the retro ride im looking for.
