Strange time to sell, somewhere between 375 and 450 should see it go, not on here though

Sorry I should have made it clear. It's just the parts bundle listed, not the complete build pictured.

Hi Grem - how's tricks fella

Neil (N2cus) could be after the bars as he has a new toy as of this afternoon's dodgy car-park rendez-vous with me at Scotch Corner - pm him.

As for the Cali, the frame is not all cromo unfortunately, as that's why it was cheaper than a Supergoose. It's main tubes only I'm afraid, but they fetch £90 to £100 all day on here, maybe a bit more on gaybay if you advertise it well. BB and crank I'd agree a little less, depending on condition but rare as hen's teeth. Don't sell the BB until the crank goes though, as the crank is useless without it being a 28tpi.

If the pads are not repops, then double that and add some - I've seen them go for a ton on gaybay, and £60 to £70 all day long. If they are, then £30 posted if mint as you can buy them for £40 new (copies)

SR stem £10 to £15 posted depends on condition as they were stock on Burners so plenty about $:-\$

Viscount aero should be £20 to £25 depending on condition

Hey Spen , I'm good thanx m8.

Thanx for the shout on the parts.

The padset was sourced as originals from Emma at Rudewheels about 5 yrs back. So I'd expect them to be the real deal

.
The crank will be going with the 28tpi bottom bracket set (i know someone would want it seperate for their 401's).

The Sr stem is in excellent condition.
It's possible the saddle already has a new home to go to

As for the Cali Frame... I have been lead to believe through numerous threads on sites that Mongoose did a run of full chromo tubing Californians in '84.
I have an original all tubes chromoly decal on the toptube , behind the headtube.
I also weighed the frame against a guide for the "all tubes chromo" version, and mine was spot on.
It's neither here nor there as I was expecting to get about a ton for the f&f anyhow. Chromo or Pig iron

I will try and verify once again tho. I do like being right

I am getting to the ammount of £250 + p&p for the whole lot tho.
Seems daft to split a project that needs grips, post, pedals, chain and wheels to be a sweet old school classic.

Gav, I couldn't agree more mate.

All you'd need to finish this would be a lush set of alloy Pro-class wheels, some decent pedals like 1/2" Shimano SX's, a nice set of black Ami Tri's and a chain and she'd be riding in a couple of hours......

Sorry to hijack your thread, more like an "add-on", but I have those very parts available for sale now my Pro-class f&f is sold. They even have the blue / red rim strips so would match the saddle perfectly.......

Please form an orderly queue for an old-school classic presented by Gav & Spen
