Picked this up today, mostly original except tires and seat, still has the reflectors and chain guard. Getting ready to tear it down and start cleaning. There will be a call made soon to Pork chop to get blue tires and seat, maybe a decal kit. Anyone know the stock tire size on these? Pretty cool bike, it will be a favorite in my collection once complete and cleaned up. I've been looking for a vintage Mongoose, they are just cool bikes! I guess I also need one brake lever but in the mean time, better get to scrubbing!

Would this have had the staggered tire sizes? I've been to the end of the web and back and can't find the stock tire sizes.

The Californian would have had 2.125" front, 1.75" rear.

The '84 catalog doesn't give specs, but, the '85 does. Even in the late '70s I think you'll find that any 'pro' bike without mags came with staggered tire sizes.
