1984 Mongoose Californian [SOLD]

This bike was bought from a member of RADBMX almost as you see it here. The frame and forks have been painted a British Racing Green. The wheels are very nice Pro Class alloy rims laced to Suzue sealed bearing hubs. The bars are Pro size, but I don't know the maker. The seat post is vintage Hutch, the seat is a vintage Viscount Aero. I added a vintage Dia-Compe MX seat post clamp. The stem is a Mongoose stamped ACS. I added an NOS Sugino chain ring, an NOS Pro Class Powerplate, plus black powder coated, Mongoose stamped Takagi cranks and some NOS SR MP-470 pedals. The bottom bracket is also Mongoose stamped. I finished the build off with a Mongoose pad set. This bike was sold in March 2013 to fund another build, but I kept the pad set for when I finally track down a nice Supergoose 3...
