1984 Mongoose Californian
1984 Mongoose Californian
Already one of my faves from my collection
New bike on the block, a 1984 Mongoose Californian. Finished building this beauty last night, 10 mins. after I was ripping around the neighborhood on it. Fast, nimble. I remember riding a 1984 Californian back in that same year. The geometry on these bikes are perfect. With these frames you can feel you can almost do everything on them, from racing to Freestyle, and back in the day that's just what I did. It was an all-around bike. For this build I decided the race approach, though. Looks cleaner, the FS clutter sometimes becomes too much to the eyes, at least the OS FS.
Here is the parts rundown. Hope you like.
