    50s mini bike maybe?

    Yea, im leaning towards manufactured myself, but i can tell some repairs were made on it (the brake being the most obvious) I think at some point this thing had much bigger wheels on it, since theres 3" of clearance on all sides. The back says "genuine crosby" on it (Crosby is a mining town...

    50s mini bike maybe?

    Not sure, saw it on the side of the road with a free sign on it. Looks to be homemade, possibly a manufactured frame and fork? Engine looks to be of vintage, leaks oil like one. Wisconsin engine possibly? Any theories, suggestions?

    Building my first mini bike from scrach!

    I was planning on welding something (washers?) To space out the sprocket then weld on a flat plate. Drill and tap. And make it a hub. For brakes, well flintstone brakes are free so lol. But i will probably make my own brake (4" brake band on the clutch, lots of yt videos on how to do this)...

    Building my first mini bike from scrach!

    It's not, probably because I just taced it together. I'll be adding some supports later. Plus who needs safety, I'm taking a crap engine that has one if the weakest rods in history and bypassing the govener. So safety Is like a 5th on my list
