Nice Maico 490 Mega 2.

[Slakewell]

Gee I was wondering if Candy Apple Red is to much for my next builds frame colour

[Adam]

Quite a few of this seller's bikes were purchased from East Coast Vintage. Not sure about these current Maicos but its a good chance they're from East Coast Vintage as well.

Paul,
        I noticed the missing bolts as well Hmmmm. Makes you wonder about the rest of the bike and the quality of work.

And probably won't get a lot of traction with the tyre on this way round

Why would you advertise a bike for top dollar with all the speil about whats been done to it then put up photos showing important bolts missing and tyres fitted the wrong way round.

Dont install much confidence in the build does it

the tyre was probably fitted by someone who didn't know the chain is on the brake side.
it would be good if he listed it for $1 and set a reserve to guage how high the price will go.
i'd love to own one but i have enough trouble trying to ride my IT250J when it runs a YZ465/490J engine 

anyway it's a nice looking bike, don't know why anyone's complaining about it

I agree, the bikes pretty nice in my eyes, even with the missing pinch bolts and tyre on backwards. My only qualm is the price, especially when compared to the following.............

Dont think its complaining  but when your asking top dollar for somthing you think the seller would have all his ducks in a row 

Missing bolts and incorrectly fitted tyres dont show a particularly great mechanical aptitude . There are thousands of polished turds for sale on the internet ( im not suggesting this one is ) but why not prepare a bike properly before advertising it rather than leave doubt as to whats not been assembled correctly in things you cant see in the photos ie inside the motor

Dont think its complaining  but ..........

oh well, hater's gonna hate

And a well priced , poorly assembled machine raises eyebrows
