just built a 83 Californian Mongoose. Cru Jones from the movie Rad sat on/rode the bike before i got it. just bought the frame on ebay and the seller sent the photos after i paid, so it was not sold as a movie bike. its light and nimble. peace
I remember looking at this in Toys R Us as a kid in the 80's. It was either this or the Decade but all I remember is that "toothpaste" pale green and it having a white stem and seatpost. They were SILLY expensive back then and it was always 3 rows up so you couldn't touch it.
Living the life in California on cool bikes! Is CA as cool as you hoped? Used to dream of living there when BMX was taking off, all the pros lived there, it looked amazing in the magazines.
Are sure those wheels are not skyway OE I had the Freestyle version of the M1 back in 87 The Mongoose Decade in exactly the same colour and it came with white skyway OE not tuff 2's ?
FS-1 is still my favorite mongoose.. the original!
I had one of these in the UK in the 1980s.
Loved it, as the colour scheme was unique at the time.
I had this bike with disc wheels. Got it for my 10th birthday. It was so cool.
Now you need to go to Our Legends to get the matching Vans
Totally Rad. 🏁
Love it! That bike screams Rad 80’s. I agree that he nailed it with the color and build in general.
That color … is what I feel like on Saturday morning… after drinking on Friday….super cool bike!
Rad Bmx Builds… Turning Dreams into Realities!!! The Color parts and vibe of that ride just SCREAMS 80’s… it’s a KEEPER for SURE!!!😎🤙🏽

Do you still have this bike? I just purchased an absolute identical bike down to the valve stem caps.
No, I sold it to someone in AZ a year ago
@@RadBMXBuilds I’m in AZ and I have it now. Small world. I bought it yesterday everything is the same seat, sprocket, grips , wheels and tires.
