frijole

Time to clean the garage for new projects. Here is a Taco Frijole. It has a custom puck band brake on the jack shaft. I installed a new laser cut engine plate. The tires are NOS double Indian heads. The wheels have been burnish. Very nice.. It has been powder coated. There is very little...

Hi everyone, Could use some assistance in tracking down a thread I found that contained an alternate way of connecting a wheel axle to a new frame tube end by using an eye bolt as pictured below. If anyone can recall what thread it was in or possibly where a guy might buy these would be very...

My 2015 Mcculloch powered Frijole

Taco "Frijole" 1969 and newer frame This build thread is for a later style frijole that I recently found. These are very simple style bikes and the fact that this frame showed up practically perfect will make it even easier to fix up.. when I found it, it didn't have the correct rear wheel or...

****CLEANEST MINI BIKE ROLLER FRAME ON CL****

So I wanted to jump on the band wagon and build myself a taco monster frijole, the only thing is the price tag and shipping cost. So I would like to make my own forks and frame and go from there. I have been researching this site and info from the taco site. I'm trying to collect data on the...

Here is my Frijole. Originally, I had a West Bend 610 on it. Because the chain is dangerous on the left I am rebuilding it with a West Bend 580 manage that issue. Pat wanted me to share the thread. So here we go..... I was able to locate the correct 5" Taco style wheels. The go powers are...

Gonna offer it here a few days before Ebay. I'd rather not ship this because it has survived this way it's while life and I hate to disassemble it. However, if the right deal is made, I can be persuaded. I'm guessing this was a kit bike but I'm no expert. It has the original 5" wheels with...

My brother in law is fixing up a old no name bike and it has 6" wheels on it and needs tires. I showed him the 5.30/4.5x6" tires on the Taco Frijole Monster build and he really wants a set. The only place he can find them is at Gokartsusa.com for $93 for the pair with tubes. Any other options...

Currently I have zero funds from Christmas and blowing way too much money at Harbor Freight:doah: As a college student money is hard to come by so I will have to wait till summer to really get my project off the ground. I'm a huge fan of the Taco Frijole, but the $400 pricetag I am not. With...

This is my first time entering the OldMiniBikes buildoff. My choice is a Taco Frijole series 1. I had posted a poll a couple of months back on what kind of engine would look cool on a Frijole and I thank everyone who participated. First choice was a west bend but I couldn't find one at a reasonable...

Hello, I thought I would share my first build. This Frijole with the Westbend 610. I got it on the road today for the first time. It handled good at high speeds.. I want to extend the appreciation to Scooterboy for the advise along the way..

Hi guys. I know the monster frijole's are fairly new but I really want one. The new ones for sale from the retailers are priced a bit crazy. I am just hoping someone might have a frame or roller they are interested in parting with. Just let me know what you got. Thanks, Rick

I purchased this frame and some other goodies and was wondering what YOUR opinions are on what kind of powerplant to use. There are many options, so I will post pics of some
