Good detective work there, that proves MCS did a frame with a headtube gusset like yours.
It's looking very like it. The sticker sounds very promising.

If the pic of the NOS one was just a little bigger it could prove it once and for all - you know what to look for now though, there'll be more pics around.

It's gotta be though, hasn't it?

ive registered on bmx museum and pmed him to ask if he has anymore pics but it looks like it to me

It's gonna cost you if you want repro stickers though

Seen them on Ebay?

Good idea joining up at that site, I hope he can get some better quality pics to you.

The MCS had quite a distinctive shaped brake bridge

This is my little lads MCS Magnum 34 which showns the detail. The gussets on the head tube and behind the BB were different on the mini's. There are repro decals on ebay US at the moment.
Pretty sure that your forks like mine are not MCS.
By the way they did 3 versions the Magnum 34, 35.5, and 37. (Mini, Expert and Pro with the number referring to the wheelbase in inches). I was told by Mr Esser who used to co-own MCS that he thought these models were more like 1985/86 era. You can contact him through vintagebmx, he uses the username gesser (If I remember correctly)

Hope this helps

I reckon looking at the brake bridge and from what Nosnod has said you've got an MCS 37

dannyboy · « **Reply #14 on:** August 20, 2006, 11:22 PM »

not a bad buy considering i only got it for the pedals and wheels the rest is a bonus

RATTY · « **Reply #15 on:** August 20, 2006, 11:25 PM »

Yep, I make that a good un, Its different to my MCS magnum, did you see the sticker sets on ebay? a bit pricey but would finish that off nice

dannyboy · « **Reply #16 on:** August 21, 2006, 06:25 PM »

yeah asked him wot year they are he said 85-89 i think this frame is earlier one but dont know whether it would be better with stickers or without?wot do yuz all think $:-\$

Nosnod · « **Reply #17 on:** August 21, 2006, 07:28 PM »

As I said before the main man told me those frames were from the 85/86ish era. I am 99% sure that those decals on ebay US are the ones you want and they are the first ones I have seen on the bay in a few years
