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.
