1985 Mongoose Californian
1985 Mongoose Californian
Purchased this awhile back and started off as purple build but the Orange has always been calling on me.
Where do I begin? I've always loved Californians and I finally decided to lay it down with parts and colors that I liked from bitd.
It rides good too!

Re: 1985 Mongoose Californian
Thanks, I didn't realize the grips looked so flourescent! The Tuffneck sprocket looks orange because I was wearing an orange shirt that day and it caught my reflection. I plan on adding pads at a later date. Here are some more pics.
This bike was in another show years ago under a different disguise. Check it out.

Re: 1985 Mongoose Californian
Thanks for the nice compliments. I ended up selling off the z-rims and the tires. It is getting a little different setup soon enough. Still keeping Orange in it but it will be different.
