1975 BAHNE complete skateboard SPECS and condition: the Real Deal (see my feedback comment at the bottom): DECK. 1975 or possibly 1976 orange Bahne fiberglass deck. 26″ long (1974 models were 24″). Serial number: 027 01379. Deck is in VG condition! Expected scuffs & scrapes, of course, and some typical “curb kissing” damage at the nose. Original Bahne trucks were removed, and deck was re-drilled for ACS-500 trucks. New “Bahne logo” cutout griptape. First generation ACS-500 trucks, in superb condition. “Figure 8″, silver baseplates (not the later black rectangle baseplates). Early edition flathead kingpins (not the later hex head kingpins). Original bushings, AND the original red pivot cups (99% of the time those wore out and got replaced by black pivot cups; not common to find ACS trucks with the original red pivot cups). All original parts (kingpins, nuts, bushing cups). Excellent condition translucent ” Ruby Red” Pipeline “Pacer” wheels. Of course loose ball bearings. I disassembled all the wheels, and cleaned & lubed the bearings and bearing runners/casings. They spin GREAT (see video). Original hardware was completely rusted out. So new mounting hardware (but original axle nuts, as stated). See my feedback: 2,953 positives, ZERO negatives. I owned & ran the skateboard company Latter-Day Skates for a decade starting in 2000. I’m a 100% straight-shooter.

Very nice condition see pics message with questions.

Original 1979 Sims Brad Bowman signature model concave skateboard. Considered VERY RARE by Art of Skateboarding! This may well be a Holy Grail to some Sims collectors. Condition would be considered good to very good for a nearly 40 year old skateboard. Paint is bright, but with scuffs from being skated. Deck was re-drilled from original holes to better suit skater. Deck is solid with a chip on the front and under the Nose Bone. Board comes with original spec Gullwing H. Pro IV trucks and well used Powell Peralta 64x57mm Bones wheels with Sims racing bearings. Axels and kingpins are straight and solid. Wheels spin freely with expected amount of noise from 40 year old bearings. Board is missing decals from the inset areas, which would have been either Sims logos, or snakes. Slight wheel rub on wheel indents. Board is well used but a stalwart survivor and would be an excellent showpiece as-is, or a great candidate for restoration. One footnote, and this is from the second owner of the board, that this board was originally owned by the Athen’s band lead guitarist Randy Bewley, who was a Georgia skater as well as guitar legend.
