Hi folks, was a bit bored so decided to do a kitchen photoshoot of the MCS Magnum (yep Rad member Pickles ex ride).

Things added are the Mirage Plate, CW type bars, donuts, Wellgo pedals, Izumi Chain, some newish wheels, dice caps and some soft lighting 8), oh and a cyclecraft padset.....although I am on the lookout for an MCS Padset (if they ever did one ::)  )

Cheers guys, thanx for the comments, I do really love this bike (if that's possible) :smitten:

As for racing, well it has a canti brake and 1/18th headset so is not o/s legal, and like Pickle alluded too, it causes to much aggro.

Anyhow I don't plan on racin, it's no longer fun coming last so I think may become more of a show and shine with a few more bits.

Still don't understand why it took ages for Pickle to shift it, even if not for racing the bike is super light and is a beaut to stare at (IM0).

Paul  :)

How can I figure out the year of my MCS? Does the serial number give a clue?

It looks like yours but without the v-brake mounts.

Just realised this post, got canti brakes and 1/18 headset so is not technically in the correct section...doh :crazy2:

SWEET MCS!
 As a former employee of MCS, I love 'em!  I'm building up the matching 24" cruiser to that bike right now with chrome and purple parts.  Even have the purple "Mega-Panel" side number plates for the bike.
 Again- that's one nice looking Magnum!
