Just finished this off today bought as just the frame and forks off a member on here by my Mrs for my Birthday

I was born in 81 so was pretty cool getting a frame the same year.
spec is

1981 Gusset frame and forks
Skyway tuff II
Del Decals
White wall tyres
Mongoose crank, BB and spider
Ammaco chain ring
Odyssey tripple traps
Mx 1000s
polished Suntour seat clamp
Renthal layback
Copy Mongoose Quilted seat
Polished Suntour stem
OGK Grips.

Yes alot is not correct of time of built but I did most of that on my last Californian. This is just a nice comfy rider and something that didnt cost the earth to build.

Anyway I like it, great job

It's a great rider been out on it today for the first time . It's nice and comfy and no num ass to report.

Roughly around 300 to build and prefer the ride to my cali that i spent alot on with era parts etc.

Super nice bike buddy. You have done it proud there!

The only problem I can see, is that it needs to be at my house, and not yours.
