Title: 83 Mongoose Cali Finished :)
Post by: skki3330 on November 27, 2010, 05:35 PM

Bought this little baby a few months ago, everything apart from the tyres as bought brand new from the shop, seems is was hardley used just needed a strip and a good polish.
Didint bother replacing decals as i think it would have spoiled how original this bike is. I have removed chainguard and reflectors :).

Also i have all the original manuals and the reciept of sale. someone must of got it for xmas dated 19-12-84 cost of £178.
