Default 4 Vintage Mini Bikes

From left to right these are my '74 Heald VT-8 Super Bronc. '70 Rupp Enduro. '70 HPE Muskin Cat 400 X. and a '71 unknown mini bike that looks exactly like the first mini bike I had back in 1971.

The first 3 are totally functional except that the Rupp doesnt have a chain or rear brake lever. Cant find the #40 master link and the rear brake lever(on the hub are pricey).(looking for a deal). The last one is just mocked up to look good.

I spent about a week at my other shop working on my KTM 400 and saw all of these.. The Rupp and Cat did not have engines.. I got to thinking since Im storing them I ought to be able to enjoy them while Im working..

Thanks for stopping in Budman.. The Sears catalog is the first time/place I saw a mini bike. 1965 or 1966 Id guess.
