Greetings !

Not sure if anyone cares but I just posted pictures of my restored 1971 Manco Stars And Stripes Chopper Mini Bike. Lots of problems and hassles along the way but I have to say that I'm pleased with the end results ! ;-) Enjoy !

What you are seeing is the original information I still have that came with my Stars And Stripes Mini Bike minus the prototype picture that the C.E.O. of Manco sent me. I'm still looking for the original sales receipt I know I still have somewhere that shows the cost of the mini bike at $188.95 plus tax in July of 1971. I'm here to inform that I have much more than that in this restoration ! However, there are so many great memories linked to this old mini bike that I feel that it was worth it ! I want to say thanks to all of those great people above and out there for the nice comments and feed back I have gotten ! This really makes for some good feelings regarding this whole project which was a nightmare at times along the way ! ;-) I really appreciate this ! ;-)
