Picked this one up a few weeks ago from the original owner. Decided to tear it all down and go over everything. Installed some DiaCompe MX1000 brakes and some Duro skinwalls from Porkchopbmx.com. Also installed all new decals except for the seat tube decals. Oh yeah...new seat, seat post and pedals too. :wink:

As found...

Nice! I have about the same frame in my shed right now, mine's a Californian though. What is the difference between the Expert and Californian anyway?

I believe the Californian is full chromoly and the expert is not.
 
Latest mock up. Still determining exactly what parts I want to go with.

Long term project.

Sharp looking. Digging the Porkchop sticker too.

You might need to change to white brakepads though. I remember that about my Z-Rims.
