I read somewhere in this forum that the front frame gussets on these Sprite/Foremost models differed from year to year. Can anyone tell me approximately when mine was made,according to this type of gusset? Thanks for the info.

Well,I decided to build the 5.5 hp Bird/Foremost Super Sprite after all. I had it 3/4 done anyway,so I just put on the chain and throttle,then tightened the engine bolts. The weather was cold and snowy,so one run up and down the street was all I could get away with. This thing is a BLAST. Come...

Some of you may remember my Orange Bird Sprite/Big Blue build. Well,the 79cc Greyhound that was on it was the only engine in my inventory that would fit in my new Taco Frijole build. BUT-I did happen to have a 5.5 Carroll Stream clone (163cc) handy.....So-one thing led to another. It fits with...

This is a before and after sequence of the little Bird/Foremost. The 79cc 2.5 hp Greyhound actually propels it fairly well,even with my 235 lb. frame on it.......The scrub brake took some getting used to. So far I'm very pleased with this build.

As all of you know by now,I am currently building a Bird Sprite/Penney's Big Blue. I was wondering-did either bike come in the color yellow? When I got this bike,it was painted yellow-with a black Tecumseh H25-and I have removed the paint,not finding any evidence of any other color like you...

I have a pair of 5" steel wheels from a Foremost Big Blue or Bird Sprite. They have some surface rust,but will look nice after a media blast. The bearings spin freely,but are probably worn. The tires are Goodyear studded 4.10/3.50 x 5 tubeless,but I will not guarantee their condition. They are...

Here is my Foremost roller........she's gettin' a 2.5 Greyhound that I haven't yet finished painting......

Here is a Bird Sprite/Penney's Foremost Big Blue roller I picked up a few weeks ago. I found a 2.5 hp Greyhound cheap,and got some new tires along with a new seat. When the frame was media blasted,I noticed that the front fork plate had, when it was new,a round decal on it. Could I...

I am going out this weekend to look at a Bird Sprite (or a Penneys Big Blue). Anyone out there have either one? I'd just like to see some pics. Thanks!!

What is the difference between a Bird Falcon and a Bird Foremost/Sprite? Is a Sprite a little smaller than most bikes? Thanks for any info.

Hi everyone, I am restoring a foremost golden pinto and am looking for a replacement decal, does anyone know where I may find one or an image of it so that I could print out a water slide decal of my own. I am also needing to get a new scrub brake for the rear. thanks jeff

Need a rear fender for my G.P. These are the bolt on Bird fenders. The Ducks are welded on :thumbsup: Also looking for a chainguard ( wishful thinking):out:

Where can I get a FOREMOST GOLDEN PINTO DECAL?

I had to go up to Jacksonville for some training for my job this week so I searched the local craigslist up there and found an add for a mini bike. Said it was a chrome frame 5hp bike thats about it no pic. I called and got a little more info of course got the typical " I think its a Rupp"...

pickup this bike and it looks to be a foremost/penneys? couple things on the bike look to be different. foot pegs fold on my bike and the brochure picture and the other picture i found looks to be a straight piece of tubing. also it looks to have pin strips on top of the original yellow. not...

Looking for info on Foremost Golden Pintos. Have a frame from a project I did with my grandfather when I was 12 and I know little about them. Thinking about restoring it. Anyone have info on them. When they were made, original motors, etc... etc.
