Finally got a minibike.........I just don't know what it is ?

[MiniDan99]

We are exited to get our first minibike (the kids and I).....but we just don't know what it is.
Seems to be in good condition, but needs an engine.

I'd like to know more about it if anyone can help fill in the blanks....make, model, year, appropriate engine & color, seat, etc....

Thanks, and we cant wait to get it going:scared:

Looks like a Bonanza frame...but not for sure...maybe Trailhorse.

Has anyone ever seen SS300 sales flyers or decals available ? I'd love to see some period stuff for this bike !

 

[MiniDan99]

That's a great looking bike....where did you find the seat ?

 

[1971_MB1A]

I have several if you need any parts.

 

[chipper]

Nice , the rebar may not be original though :scared::laugh:

 

[MiniDan99]

I have several if you need any parts.

Yes, I would like to find several items, we can discuss a price.

Seat, chain guard, decals, rear sprocket, tires, pegs......i guess thats almost the whole bike !!

Thanks for the sales flyer, very cool.

I was hoping this was what was known as the Rambler. I have an MTD Rambler chain guard that I have no idea how I wound up with. Tried to use it on a Columbia as a TC cover and not dice. If anyone wants to buy it let me know.

 

[Brad Nelson]

Cool I work at MTD in Willard Ohio they used to make these.

 

[MiniDan99]

Brad, thats cool.
Any chance theres a copy of a sales brochure available for a 330 ?
