1980 JMC

(Click for full photo)


1980 JMC This was a dumpster dive rescue. I don~t know what year but I~m guessing 1979-1981. Ser #6010. I think it~s a JMC Standard. (JMC is stamped in rear of top tube) I~ve equipped it with some small cranks and seat for my son. Stem and clamp are GT, SUMO wheels,MX 1000 brakes. I just couldn~t wait to see it all together once it was primed up. I~m planning to restore it to the JMC red that it was originally. Looking for some powerlite mini bars for it.
