1983 Mongoose Californian

Just scored a VERY nice survivor Chatsworth Mongoose Californian from the original owner. Barely ridden and barely even a scratch on it. Pro Class rims on Tioga Comp III's. SR stem. Toadstool grips (soon to be replaced with NOS Ame ones). KKT pedals (but missing a black cap on the left side - anyone have one?). Elina E.T seat. Near perfect dropouts. Original Pro Class pads. MX Seat clamp. Came with cheapo Chang Star MX brakes which I will replace - will keep yellow Skyway brake pads.

Re: 1983 Mongoose Californian

Thanks, man!  I was pretty pleased with it.  But, I am in the process of changing the color scheme on it to yellow from red - dunno why, but I never really was into the red thing.  All red parts will be kept from the Tiogas, Elina ET saddle, and chain.

Re: 1983 Mongoose Californian

Updated pic of red to yellow transformation - (I kept all it originally came with, just in case I feel like switching it back).
