BMX
I had a BMX bike with Mag wheels when I was a kid. It was the late 70's. I loved that bike. Eventually, however, I outgrew it and it ended up at my grandmother's house. She kept it locked in her shed for years and long after my grandmother passed, it moved with my grandfather to South Jersey when he moved out of the house he helped build for my grandmother. My grandfather passed away and the bike went to my parents house. Recently, I brought it down to VA and today I started restoring it.
I sanded a layer of what I can only describe as oxidation off the wheels. The axles are a little damaged, so I'll probably need to get replacement parts when I take it apart, I may take it to a shop to have that done. It's careful greasy work and I'd rather not do it. I'm going to strip down the frame and Q picked out two different colors to paint it (lilac and silver- ewwww). Unfortunately, she also picked out tassles for the handlebars.
The seatpost is most likely welded to the frame, we'll see. There's a lot of rust on this thing.
