Things must really be bad in the US. Not a day goes by without another half dozen bargains popping up on eBay or the Swapmeet. This Maico is one of those bargains but if you're interested be warned that it's far from complete. The forks are later model 38mm internal spring items, probably a '75/76 model and not legal for pre 75 let alone pre 70. If you'e wanting to do a full resto be also forewarned that besides a set of proper external spring 36mm forks you'll also need a Maico full width front hub. This bike has a CZ front wheel fitted which would be fine for a racer but no good for a resto. The broken frame is a bother too. You'd have to be pretty handy with a tig to repair and then gusset it properly. Other than that...not too bad but I've seen better for the money.FOR SALE

This is a project I purchased 5 years ago with the intension of doing a restore but have no time.
I am also selling a 1970 Husqvarna 400 Cross. Everything is there, straight and clean just needs a ground up restoration also.
