deffo not ron c bars, but i'd be interested in the boss stem if it ever wants a home :daumenhoch:

jT Racing:
i think the bottom tube of the bars would be angled for dk. look like ron c's to me. that race inc is nice as fook. those power wings should be sold fairly easy ;)
it looks like an early magnum, the gusset behind the BB tells me so. the later ones had stays that met in a point with the dropout welded on the underside of the chainstays.

the site has changed, there used to be a lot more about the old models.

Bigplinky:
Don't look to have enough rake for Fred Z's, I like Fred Z's but I would hate those bars because they are almost straight.

Frame is looks to be one of these.
Magnum 37


This pic is an 87 model, it seems mcs made the magnum series from around 81/82 on.


This is the 88 model, note the different rear dropouts


So its between 81 and 87, difficult to pin down exactly, im not sure if mcs serial no's mean much.

As for the bars, i couldnt find any pics of fred'z, but the fred'z team was running mid to late 80's
Ron c's werent made until 1990 i would go with fred'z.

I wasnt in the market for another frameset, but if you decide to sell drop me a line, defo interested.
Cheers

Check here for DK bars,
very close but the crossbar looks higher, and larger diameter.
