    Garage sale mini bike - what is it?

    I realize many things on this have been fabricated since it was new including the engine which I was told came off of an edger. I'd kind of like to know what it started life as.

    Brakes on a Fox

    I picked up my 67 Street Scamp (possibly the Trail Tramp or Scamp, whatever it's called) and I need some brakes. I was told that Airhart brakes might work (possibly now used on Manco)? Anybody know for sure? I've found a few on eBay, but they don't look like they'll bolt up. I was told they...

    Hey Fellas looking for a nice one of these. I know they come up on eBay from time to time. There are even some on there now under "Ariens snowblower" but the seller told me they're a little cracked. I'm keeping my eye out for a good one. Thanks! :thumbsup:

    I was told it is a Taco, but???

    The guy I bought it from said it's a Taco, but I haven't seen any Tacos' that look anything like it.

    told rupp dont think so

    Is this Rupp? Doesn't look right to me what else might it be. I still want it just don't think its worth the asking price.

    Told this is a "bird" mini bike, any input?

    Picked it up for 180 today. As is it runs and rides like it came off the showroom, couldnt be happier with my purchase! Is it a bird like the seller said? Plan to use this trail riding with my .22 slung on my back hunting vermon, brings back alot of memories as a kid :scooter:

    Thought I had a Rupp but Im told it aint so

    The wheels are a little smaller. Obviously either a good copy or made by the same company.
