1985 Mongoose Californian
1985 Mongoose Californian
My first build
Here is my 1985 mongoose Californian. When I got the bike it was in pretty bad shape. So I bought some parts (tuff 2s, bmx product grips, Chen shin comp 3 tires, a pad set) and put some elbow grease on her it in my opinion she came out alright. This will be the first of many to come. Hope you like her. 
Looking to buy 1986 mongoose pads. White with red mongoose. Complete set of just individual pieces.

Re: 1985 Mongoose Californian
Me likey, nice build.
Are the pads OG or re-pops?
I'm needing to break down and get a few sets for mine.
I'm looking for the following frames, frame & forks or completes by BMX products:
MotoTrac (nickle or chrome), Racer-X or a Super-X (with the double gussets preferred).
Thanks
