This is an add for a Manco Trailcat from 1979/80, first off I bet some of you are surprised its that new :wink: But take a good look at it and note the decal on the number plate says Fox and the chianguard is the Fox used chainguard that started life on the the 10" wheel single speed bikes, got rotated sideways for awhile and used on the sprite 110 type bikes and apparently made its way onto a Manco!
Has the "high voltage magneto" :wink: and note the "Baked epoxy finish". If you have ever dealt with a Manco built in that era you would know what a pain that stuff is to deal with, I believe the "baked" part referred to the guy that was in charge of prepping the bare frames cause they dropped the ball there, that stuff never stuck to the bike and peeled off in sheets :laugh:
Add is from an Orgill Bros catalog but its right next to other manco's etc, and being sold as a Manco not a store branded bike.
Thoughts, more info :shrug: Calling MarkG to the white phone, think they were just pulling stock from Certified parts corp??
