It’s an early example of a mass marked kids bike cashing in on the 70s BMX craze.
Red, white and blue.

Oil the chain, ride on your local track, and impress your friends with this piece of BMX history!

All original. Sold as is

$30



get your Hairy Ass in the truck and lets get on up to Clio and pick this up..I think we should give this fella an extra 30$ just for saving it from being scrap...a nice piece of 70s bicycle history here..worth every dam penny...

Steal is Real and Thin is In!! Absolutely killer 1986 Schwinn Madison Track Frame. Columbus double butted frame. 19 inch frame. Cinelli stem and bars. Campagnolo crank. Flip flop rear hub. Pictures tell the story, this bike is nearly flawless. This would make an awesome downtown crusher or as a piece of art to put on your wall. $450 will make you the coolest kid on the block. PM me

Well the Dome is currently closed but that doesn't mean you cant score some style points with the locals..
450$ not a bad deal for this classic..
Pitch the tri-bottle rack in favor of  something more current and re-wrap the bars in a current hue and its go time..

Bike prices are crazy right now. I put a bike up that would have struggled to get 1000 for pre covid, posted it up for 1200 leaving a little room to negotiate. In less than 24 hrs I had someone give me 1400 bucks for it.
