Vintage Mini Bike Guide Scans

Sweet. I'll check out the Heald stuff and look forward to the rest. Thanks again.

wildbill, I have not found anything yet.

My MBG content is somewhat limited. Most of my stuff is from MiniCycle. At some point in 1972, MBG changed to MiniCycle. I will look through those to see if I can assist you.

Thanks for lookin', Resto. Keep posting those up, love seein' all of these old bikes!

wildbill59,

Here is the only Terra that I could dig up:

Thanks Resto, nice work! All of the Terra models were pretty sweet, weren't they?

Thanks.

Yes. Nice bikes. Terra's advertising budget must have been pretty minimal because they did not seem to run ads every month.....and they had only two or three versions of "ad copy" that repeated over-and-over. Additionally, all I have ever seen are the smaller-size Terra ads like the one I scanned for you.

Cat, Fox, Bonanza, Taco, Cheeftah and certain others often had full page (and frequently color) ads that ran with greater regularity.

The funny thing is that some of the larger, more expensive-looking ads were for some of the "here today - gone tomorrow" brands with lesser known names - such as Starlight, Hap Jones, etc.:shrug:

Good work, jeep, very nice! That's cool, mine is a TM-950, that one's a 951. Wonder if there's any difference, they look pretty much the same. And wow, that's a nice Bird, Glenn. My buddy had one when I was a kid, it was as plain as plain could be. That one's the luxury model! Great thread, guys!

Thanks. I have a CR400 chopper, but no literature or specs for it. This was a good addition to this thread...and I appreciate it !

I know this is really old but did anyone notice that they say the Rupp Scrambler, Roadster and Hustler came with 2-stroke engines when they clearly don't/didn't? Just thought that was kind of cool typo.

Merry Christmas. I was wondering if you had any information- parts list for the cat 400 or other models. Thank you
