Does this belong to anyone here?

He knows it's an old Manco. maybe a "pathfinder", not very common especially unmolested. (this one has the front forks bent forward and some holes drilled here and there. Interesting chain roller.

I have two and heres what they look like unmolested. Neat bikes with plenty of room for big engines and comfy to ride.:thumbsup:

Is it really a chain roller? All I see is a flat piece of metal bolted down. But my eye's are going south. Still a clean ride.

 

[GTO]

Yeah, just a flat piece. (rubber?)

I would have made a bracket off the engine mount instead of drilling a hole! :doah:

It is a good looking bike. I'll guess that the chain guide's a piece of thick rubber, like a chunk of tire sidewall or conveyer belt material. Just enough to keep the chain from dragging directly on the edge of engine plate. If you rode the bike much, it would be a regular service item. I'd like to see a closer pic of that, and a close-up of the apparently home-made bracket anchoring the pin for the clutch brake.

The exhaust is water pipe and fittings that have been chrome plated! :doah:

Didn't sell, reserve not met at bid of $245.00. Could it be worth more than that? How much did it cost to chrome the "muffler"?

Hey GTO. Bring that bike over, I'll molest it.. :thefinger:

I don't think it's worth what he wants but chroming a plumbing pipe is pretty funny! ut:

 

[jimh]

It could be stainless pipe, polished up a little, but it does kind of look chromed.

Unlike a lot of mini's, there is plenty of room for molestation!

those chrome plumbing parts can be bought new at any good hardware store. that rubber chain flap is actually a good idea imo. maby put a piece of spring steel under it but it just stops the slap
