This looks a lot like my bike with Skyways. Ran with a snowflake sprocket tho. Had a set of Arayas to go with. Mongoose Cali

I had a buddy that raced one of these all through the 80's. Never upgraded a thing. It just wouldn't die. I didn't appreciate it back then

Not as underground as the European early modern humans! Get it.
