Item Condition

I grade products as honestly as possible and depict blemishes in both description and photos—please study them carefully. I tend to be overcritical and customers report items to be in better shape than expected often. From best condition to worst condition, my grading scale is as follows. Mint / near mint+ / near mint / excellent+ / excellent / great / very good / average / fair.

Description

This unrestored and original Motomag is 100% stock to catalog spec! It has all four of its original reflectors in excellent condition, and even the chainguard! Paint and decals are original, backed up by the Westside Schwinn Cyclery decal. It has blue Winner's Circle grips, quilted Mongoose metal framed seat on BMX Products stamped seatpost, 79' stamped ACS front hub & Bendix coaster rear matched to Femco rims (these were the "heavy wire wheels" shown in catalog as alternative to Motomag II's), original rat trap pedals, etc.  It even has the original headset & top nut!  It's rare to find 1970's BMX bike in original condition this clean!

Condition

This gem is part of a collection I acquired from someone who's father died recently. All of the bikes from the collection were clearly loved and well cared for. It is quite clean throughout. The frame is free of dents, and the only rust is a tiny spot on the rear dropout. Paint is a 7 or 8 out of 10, decals are 6 out of 10 aside from downtube decal that's actually pretty nice. Most of the components are in amazing shape. No holes/tears in saddle. Tires have cracked sidewalls but show minimal actual use. Chain is rusty. Crank and hubs spin nicely. Wheels are pretty true, and the rims are shiny with only a few tiny spots of corrosion. A few spokes have a bit of rust. Pedals are near mint.

I'm always buying high end bikes, parts, accessories, memorabilia, etc. While I'm particularly seeking large piles of new old stock parts, used items in nice condition are welcome.
