Re: Magna BMX

You must have a friend at the powdercoater if you had the wheels coated on a bike you got for $5. :shock:

(they look great)
 
Re: Magna BMX

^thats what i was thinking. If i remember that was a walmart bike but as long as it's working it's good enough i like the frame shape :!:
 
Re: Magna BMX

It was a Magna Invader. I believe around 1986. Yes I have a friend that does my powdercoating for free. Trying to get this bike ready for the Show ans Swap meet in Pittsburgh next Sunday.

I'm afraid that Magna is about 20 years newer than that.

Re: Magna BMX

Looking good, wish we lived close by, I'd toss you a tire, Walmart is going to get $20 for a 20" tire. :x
