1989 Mongoose M-1
My Retro-Modded M1
Just got this from"norelk98"...

ThanXXX for looking!!! PLEASE COMMENT!!!

Yeah, the chrome is in AWESOME shape for being almost 25 years old... If I ever decide to get rid of the Z-Rims, I will let you know first, I wouldn't hold my breath though, I LOVE my Z-Rims... ThanXXX Again for the GREAT deal on this ride!!! It turned out KILLER!!! WAY BETTER THAN I EXPECTED!!!

Re: 1989 Mongoose M-1
ritchie, this is a nice m1. Its a very underrated bike. I love riding my m1 more than my cali. the m1 is a lesser bike but put some sugino 3 pc cranks and some zrims and you will understand. nice job buddy! 
I love the zrims. they crackle sometimes as you ride. I have an 83 red californian. its all stock except for the matthauser brake pads. The orig rims are good but the braking surface is all bumpy. I cant get my rear brake nice and tight like how it is on the zrimms. anyone have some red zrims for this 83 cali?

I have since changed a few things on this... I keep upgrading it as parts become available... I now have black Salt CR-MO 175mm cranks w/ a black Origin-8 alloy powerdisc and a 45T alloy polished Pro-Neck chainring...
