<< < (3/3)

bobafett:
The minis are cool Steve and deffo a great bike for your daughter - she'll get years out of it too as it's a decent size frame - try and save the chrome if you can mate, they only came in chrome in 84  :daumenhoch:

Spen I forgot yours was an 83 so yes that makes sense. H3 on the box section = early USA made mini  :daumenhoch:

stevesredvxr:
Cool!!!
Are all the other stuff on it standard size?

Whats are these minigeese made from....and where would this have been manufactured..Taiwan?

Cheers Steve

Is that the one off gaybay last week?

Had my eye on one that looked squat on the back end (but didn't have 'mini' in the description), mailed the seller about it's size and was it a mini. He said he bought it for the Proclass wheels that were on it and didn't know, never heard back from him with measurments so didn't bother bidding on it :(

Nice little frame ;)

Chro-mo mainframe Steve and with an "M" prefix serial it's made by merida in Taiwan.

Standard 20" parts for the majority components mate - they did a hi spec and low spec though. The hi spec had 1 3/8" skinny pro-class rims and Lee-Chi/Pro-class caliper brakes - the lower spec had coaster brake 1.75" steel pro-class rims.

The bars are smaller and are specific to this and the 16" mity of the same era. Can sort you a pic if need be or check out my 16" mity in my bikes thread.

Other than that it's pretty much cali/expert components - BMX aero seat (viscount), SR 468 pedals, mongoose grips, MX hinged clamp, cheng shin comps etc.

Yep it was the one off ebay last week.......I asked him to end early for cash and he did....he also had it drove down to Manchester
to near my works so I could pick it up on my way in on Friday, so no delivery charge either!!! Top bloke!....he also said he had just bought
it for the pro class rims. :daumenhoch:

Looking forward to getting started on it..................anyone with any bits for it please feel free to contact me!!!  :laugh:
