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.
Nice old school skateboard in good condition that will make a great addition to your collection. Check out my other old school collection stuff for sale. Zoom on pictures and ask questions.
See all pictures for condition. These are about as good as you can ever find for original 80′s Indy’s. Bushings are snap stamped og and still work. 1 hanger looks about never grinded and other really about just surface. Around 8 inch axle to axle. Hanger about 5 1/2 inches. Serious international buyers only.
See all pictures for condition. Very very little grind. Base plates plastic and no cracks. Axle to axle is around 9 inches and damn close. Bushings are somewhat soft and still very good. Serious international buyers only.
I want to give a little information about these 38-year-old skateboards. I collect vintage skateboards from 1985 to 2001. The ones I collect are from the old Drug stores (barely holding on, God bless Amazon). You could find them at retailers like CVS, Walgreens, and Kmart. I collect the good ones. They are rare and in great shape. The 1980′s was a very great decade. This is the first skateboard I bought besides my Vision Original in 1985. I bought this because I build pools for a living. Once I saw it. I was hook on old skateboards. Original condition but some things are out of place. I do not think Variflex ever painted trucks yellow. These trucks are painted very well but most likely not from original Variflex. I bought a very expensive set of old Variflex Sex bolts to complete the board because several were broken on the original. The wheels are vintage wheels (unknow maker). I picked these because they match the colors and theme of the board. The bearing are old school. Tail bone, nose bone, rails, risers and copers are Variflex. The item will be packaged well.
