Sweet! My first real bike was a Magnum 2000, maybe around '82ish. I cracked the frame, but I still have it. Unfortunately the forks are long gone. The MCS bars and stem went on my JMC, which I'm restoring right now. Your right, these frames are REALLY light!

I love these MCS' they had perfect geometry and I believe they were the only bikes that had cro-mo dropouts, they were paper thin but strong as hell. I had one and it was indestructible.

i found this 1979

cool right ...love the history

plymouthfan · 2009-11-19 5:51am

Dude, I saw an ad on a PDF file from around 80 that had all the frames, forks, bars, and posts available that year laid out. I gotta find it for ya...

This isn't the ad I mentioned, but it's one from Jan 81 and has your Magnum and Spider frames... scroll all the way to the bottom...
