Meyers Lynx/Taco

[Rigaman]

I Found a nice Meyers Lynx that looks like a Taco 100. What is the story on these Meyers Lynx bikes? What years were they made? Are they pretty rare compared to Tacos? More sought after? I think I would rather have a Taco 100.. But I do like these Meyers Lynx's.

Anyone have pictures of their Meyers Lynx's? I would love to see them, and hear the history of them.

Did you see Karterman's? :drool:

Rigaman: The Meyers is basically the same bike as a T100 with some different bends in the frame and a plate added to the fork. The Meyers is more rare, but less desirable.

If yours is a nice one I may be able to work with you on a frame/fork swap deal since they use most of the same parts and would save on shipping.

Send pics of what you have to warpath5881@sbcglobal.net

Here is a link to some old adds for them... MEYERS LYNX MINIBIKE

 

[JamnJM]

Both were made by Steen's in Alhambra, Calif. but I'm told Steen's made and name them after Bruce Myer's Manx without Bruce's permission so they were renamed Lynxs....

I have 1x but Modifying it with a Suzuki DS 80 rear swing arm and rear wheel.....:grind:

Steve had a nice lynx!

 

[Rigaman]

That is cool as hell. Steve McQueen With a broken foot on a Meyers Lynx.

I personally think he would look even cooler on a Taco. haha.

:thumbsup:

Neck do you have any new pictures of that st100. I keep seeing the same picture of it over and over. I want to see that bike get done LOL:thumbsup:

I have a Manxter and know Bruce pretty well, and he and his wife, Winnie - the brains of the outfit (lol!), and I have talked about the Lynx.
Bruce made a deal to use his name, but he says he never really saw or rode or had one himself. Hoping my inside line would help I asked Winnie for anything they still had pertaining to the bikes but unfortunately they have nothing!
When I decided to do a Taco I had my choice and picked the 100 over the Lynx!

 

[Hounddog]

Yeah Neck, Why don't you bring that ST100 over here....I will take some more pictures for you....no really I will, I will...:laugh:

HD

 

[Neck]

You and me both, too many in front of it. That and I'm gathering the right parts to replace broken, missing and just plain wrong stuff! When I have it all, it'll be a go.

I have a fake Manx buggy but I sure would love a real Lynx bike. I doubt very many made it out to the east coast though

 

[Rigaman]

The serial # on the lynx is Serial #70H526 It is a model 65 I believe.

 

[Dan-E-boy]

Well it looks like a taco serial #.. go to this link TACO Registry and that # means its a 1970(70) taco100(H) and the 526th of the line.. I really like the tread on that front tire too.. nice find..

 

[taco bill]

yea thats a taco 100. looks like some one extended the top rear. lynx are squared off in the rear

 

[Mac]

Wow, Fender brackets, an added longer hoop, and extra seat mount.
Time to get out that saw and get to cutting.

 

[Rigaman]

Ya. there are like 6 cross bars on the top. Someone had an a little too much fun with this one. I dig the fender bracket though.

So.. It IS a Taco! haha =)
