Dad got that MTD trail flight and the other day he sat on it and bounced it around a little and he said it would be an excellent riding bike. Real cushy. It wouldn't be hard to replicate those forks, or at least a variation?:hack: But yea. when the minicycles came out alot of bikes had them.:scooter::scooter:

Steen's

Its got the Tomsprops ft end.
I sold the Steen's MX 100 but I am not Shure this picture is of a Steen's issue Steen's could of made them for the big box stores. I rode one of this type Steen's mini cycle in a CMC mountain enduro, and got a 3rd place trophy. And a very bad sprained ankle.

........Check out HPE Muskin's "El Gato" (CAT minibike guys).
It doesn't show the upper body part behind the seat, but maybe your's is a newer model.

Full Page picture on page 17 of MiniCycle magazine July 1972.

That is a Steen copy built by HPE Muskin and marketed through JCPenney auto centers as an El Tigre MX. It had the Fuji F-4 80cc 4 speed, and had a nearly identical counterpart marketed to many mom-and-pop lawnmower shops as the El Gato. My El Tigre was a 1972 model.
