From what I can tell if it has stripes on the fenders it's a 72 or 73.

WOW !! Hey, DuVoisin here. I also have that same Foremost Mini Bike. The one with the little square seat. It's kinda burnt orange in color. Rufff, but doable. Everything is there but the rear fender & kick stand. I'm almost 51 years old now and remember alot of these, and some Sears stuff too. I can't wait to restore it. And from the looks of the price in the catalog, 119.88 , I would guess more like 1967 to 69. Mine still has the org.motor I'll run the spec # and pin point that.The pic got me goin now can't wait to start on it !! P.S. this is the best MINI BIKE site ever.

Does anyone know if the Golden Pinto came with a the big 5.30 4.50-6 tire in the front?

 

[markus]

They were always the 4.10/3.50-6 size on the all the Bird made and Arco versions of the "golden pinto" Not even sure if you could squeeze a 5.30 on at least he bird made frame with a fender :shrug:
