1980 Schwinn Mag Scrambler

1980 Schwinn Mag Scrambler

This is my 1980 Schwinn Scrambler, Serial # MR 608762.  My collecting of BMX Bikes started with my son seeing my 1976 DG Racer II in the garage of my mother’s house and saying what a junky old bike.  Well that made me want to restore the DG and with the help and curse of E-Bay I was off and running.  Once the DG was restored I found my self-wanting to collect all the BMX bikes that I had as a kid.   After finding and restoring a 79 Mongoose Team Bike, I started looking for a Webco.  After the Webco I started looking for a Littlejohn (1974-75) and a Dan Gurney monoshock (1974-75).  Well I am still looking for these two bikes as frames to build up, so any help (with in reason and not causing me a divorce) would be great!  This bike was a Swap meet find.  So can you ever have enough Schwinns.  This was one of the last bikes I can remember still being cool even if it still had a kickstand.  As with most Schwinns of this era , the kickstand got a chrome plug of some kind.
